SEATAC – The Department of Corrections and local law enforcement are looking for John Nino DOC# 442216. The 20-year-old, who is 6 feet 2 inches and weighs 154 pounds, escaped while being transported, in wrist restraints, through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport shortly before 8 p.m. Tuesday evening.
Nino was wearing a red coat and dark grey/black sweatpants. Officers last saw him crossing the light rail tracks and heading towards Highway 99.
Nino was most recently on community supervision for a second-degree robbery conviction out of Thurston County. DOC issued a warrant for him in June after he failed to report for meetings with his community corrections officer. He was arrested several days ago in New Mexico and was being returned to DOC custody in Washington when he escaped late in the evening, August 12, 2025.
If you see Nino, do not approach him. Please call 911.
