The last time Dakota Briscoe was on the run, he got as far as the U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint north of Las Cruces, posing as his brother.

This time, the double murder suspect and convicted carjacker is accused of hatching a more elaborate escape plan: two associates from an Albuquerque street gang would stash a firearm behind the ATM inside the University of New Mexico Hospital emergency room and ensure a stolen getaway car was waiting.

Briscoe, who is confined to the Metropolitan Detention Center, planned to fake a medical emergency so he would be transported to the hospital. A trial run several weeks earlier showed the likely path guards would take an ill prisoner 鈥 right past the ATM.

Briscoe had a court hearing Wednesday, at which he planned to 鈥渇ake an injury and escape,鈥 according to a 51-page FBI search warrant affidavit. But the FBI interceded and arrested Briscoe鈥檚 main accomplice a day earlier.

As of Thursday evening, Briscoe, 40, was listed in MDC custody. And his alleged accomplice, Crisantos Garcia, was in federal custody in Arizona after being arrested on drug and firearms charges.

The FBI learned of the escape plot from a confidential informant who 鈥渋nadvertently鈥 became involved when Briscoe gave him a letter about details of the escape plan, the affidavit stated. The informant, not wanting to be part of the escape, turned over the letter to the FBI.

鈥淚nvestigators further allege that Garcia stockpiled firearms, ammunition, cash and a stolen vehicle to support an escape plan devised by Dakota Briscoe,鈥 according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney鈥檚 Office in New Mexico.

According to investigators, Briscoe allegedly directed Garcia to hide a firearm behind an ATM on the second floor of the hospital.

Briscoe even conducted a trial run, the affidavit states. He allegedly injured himself and was transported to the hospital. An informant told the FBI that Briscoe faked the injury so he could see the layout of the new emergency room area and how he would be transported.

Briscoe believed he would be taken onto an elevator to get to the emergency room, and once the doors opened, he would grab the firearm hidden behind the ATM, according to the affidavit.

Garcia and another gang member were to provide additional weapons, cash and the car. It wasn鈥檛 clear how Briscoe would get out of handcuffs, but the affidavit stated that he reportedly had obtained handcuff keys.

Agents learned that Briscoe intended to flee to Mexico, where he talked about being able to own a firearm.

Briscoe is awaiting trial in state district court in Albuquerque on charges of fatally shooting two men in the South Valley and burning their bodies to conceal the crime in 2020. A trial in that case ended in a mistrial in January.

In January 2025, Briscoe was sentenced to federal prison for a violent crime spree that followed the homicides, which included armed carjackings and the use of a firearm in a violent crime.

Days after the crime spree, in September 2020, Briscoe was stopped at the U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint north of Las Cruces. He had added face tattoos in an apparent attempt to conceal his identity, and attempted to evade arrest by providing officers with his brother鈥檚 name, Austin Epps, according to the FBI.

But unbeknownst to Briscoe, Epps had an active warrant for his arrest, so Briscoe was arrested.

鈥淚t was not until the FBI received a tip that Briscoe had been arrested under an alias that the arresting agency realized it was Dakota Briscoe they had in custody,鈥 the affidavit states.
