7. These escapees are suspected of killing two people post-escape.

"David Gonzales, the U.S. marshal for Arizona, told CNN that the remaining fugitives are now suspected in the killings of a couple whose bodies were found Wednesday in New Mexico." --CNN

I guess at this point Arizona might as well put these guys in death row.
