Your Friday evening update on Salem news

Good evening, Salem.

Police are still searching for three young men who escaped from MacLaren Youth Correctional Facility in Woodburn nearly two weeks ago.

Western University of Health Sciences Lebanon Oregon

The men escaped at 9:12 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 18. The Oregon Youth Authority on Friday had no information about their whereabouts, according to spokeswoman Liz Gharst.

The state agency, which operates MacLaren, has provided no other details about their disappearance. It previously identified the men as:

*Angel Diaz-Barrera, 19, of Salem, adjudicated for first-degree robbery and carrying or using a dangerous weapon in Marion County

*Julian Diaz-Navarro, 19, of Salem, adjudicated for attempted first-degree assault and carrying or using a dangerous weapon in Marion County

*Xavier Swimm, 21, of Portland, adjudicated for attempted second-degree assault and aggravated harassment in Multnomah County

Adjudications are the juvenile equivalent of a criminal conviction. The Oregon Youth Authority determines the sentences for teens prosecuted in the juvenile system and can keep them in detention until they are 25..

The agency has urged anyone who sees them to call 911. Anyone with information about their whereabouts is asked to call Oregon State Police at 503-375-3555 and reference case number SP 24-054230.
