Law enforcement is actively searching for a man who was mistakenly released from custody in Los Angeles, California, according to multiple reports.

The man was identified as 24-year-old Steven Manzo, according to CBS Los Angeles. Manzo was charged with murder in connection to the 2018 shooting, the report said.

"He should not have been released," a spokesperson for the Long Beach Police Department told the LA Times.

According to NBC Los Angeles, an error in the computer system that said Manzo's case was dismissed resulted in his release on Tuesday afternoon at 2:12 p.m. The report said that Manzo was seen by local deputies on the 101 Freeway shortly after he was released.

NBC Los Angeles investigative reporter Eric Leonard tweeted a photo of Manzo on Tuesday.

"Yesterday, we were notified by the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office that suspect Steven Manzo was released from custody after our Department has already filed criminal charges," a Long Beach Police Department told Insider in a statement Wednesday."Upon further review, it was determined he should not have been released. We contacted LASD to assist with his apprehension. LASD set up a containment perimeter, but they were not able to take him into custody."

The statement continued: "Our department will work with local agencies to make every effort to locate suspect Manzo to take him safely into custody."

The spokesperson added that the department "had no involvement in the erroneous release of the suspect."
