From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution website (ajc.com):
A 19-year-old who has been on the run from police since April 23 was spotted in Gwinnett County on Thursday night — and it was shown live on cable television.
Gwinnett County deputies, who were being filmed by “Live PD,” attempted to arrest fugitive Emmanuel Holcomb in the 5000 block of Duval Point Way on Thursday night. However, the suspect jumped out of a second-story window to avoid capture, the sheriff’s office said.
The TV show, which airs on A&E, shows patrols by several law enforcement agencies across the country, switching between streams to focus on arrests, chases or other activity.
The deputies were attempting to serve six misdemeanor warrants to Holcomb, which stem from an incident with Duluth police where he allegedly drove away from a traffic stop, caused a wreck and then stole a woman’s cellphone during his escape, AJC.com previously reported.
In addition to those warrants, he also has active warrants from Gwinnett police, which include five counts of aggravated assault, six counts of possession of a firearm and one count of obstruction, the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post.
AJC.com has reached out to police to learn more about those warrants.
He is considered armed and dangerous, and anyone who spots him is asked to call 911. The sheriff’s office is offering a reward for information that leads to his arrest, and tips can be called in to 770-619-6655.

Thoughts? I am placing the manhunt for Holcomb in the Fugitives on TV section since, as noted above, he was featured on Live PD- twice!
The wanted segment was from the Friday night show so we can say Holcomb was still at large at least as of May 3rd, 2019.
Pretty crazy though that they're doing a Wanted-themed Live PD show and wind up profiling a fugitive from one of the non-wanted segment camera action segments the very next night.
