A search is underway for a 2009 Odessa murder suspect after he was accidentally released from federal custody.
According to a local news source, authorities are looking for Paul Lujan, 32, who is currently wanted for state murder charges.
Lujan was originally arrested in connection with a homicide that occurred outside of what is now known as Brewski's Bar in August 2009.
