As of this morning (7 November), the 18-year-old Chilean national’s whereabouts are unknown.
In the video, the prison officer stands up from his desk, where he was sitting, to open the door of the cell.
One of the detainees had reportedly asked for permission to use the bathroom.
As one steps out of the cell, a second follows, forcefully pushing the guard who pushes back.
Two others, one being Alexander, then run out behind them as the four men all scramble to the door to make their exit.
Three men were able to make it out of the cell.
The prisoner who initially targeted the guard appears unable to get away, caught in a fight with the guard.
After being dragged back into his cell and locked away, two staff members come to assist the guard.
They are all then seen rushing out of the room to capture the other detainees.
A second man was arrested minutes later, the third was shot and taken to a medical centre, while Alexander disappeared.
All four of the men belong to the Vaster Miller criminal gang, as reported by Need To Know.
The incident occurred during the night on 5 November at the 41st Police Station in La Pintana, Chile.
According to the national law enforcement Carabineros de Chile, Alexander is a minor member of the Vaster Miller gang.
His rank within the organisation is said to be limited to the storage and distribution of drugs in smaller quantities.
In total, Carabineros have arrested 11 members of the group including six Chileans and five Columbians.
Each has criminal records for drug and arms trafficking, as well as kidnapping.
The police institution assured that the premises where the rest of the detainees are being held are being guarded by personnel from the Special Operations Group (GOPE).
Meanwhile, the Public Ministry confirmed the opening of a case for the escape of detainees against those in charge of their custody.
