UPDATE 11/28:

PCSD says detectives from the Fugitive Investigative Strike Team located Rahman near West Grant and North Oracle Roads on Monday, Nov. 28 around 11 a.m.

An inmate escaped after corrections officers mistook him for another person, according to Pima County Sheriff's Department (PCSD).

At about 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 21, deputies were called to the Pima County Adult Detention Complex.

Deputies learned that 48-year-old Khalid Rahman walked out of the detention complex after he was mistaken for another inmate.

A group of inmates were to be released and Rahman took the place of another person, says PCSD.

He is described as a 5'8" African American man and was last seen wearing a black polo shirt and blue jeans.

If anyone has seen Rahman, please call 911.

Earlier this year in October, PCSD warned the public of a different a man being held in the same facility who had "walked out" while others were being released.
