Surveillance footage released on Tuesday shows Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera apparently escaping from his prison cell via the shower on Saturday night.

The footage reveals Guzman walking to and from the shower area, which does not have its own camera but can be partially seen in the video. He returns to his bed, where he seems to put on shoes, then goes back to the shower area and disappears behind a partition, where he escapes through a tunnel off-camera.

The footage also shows a glowing object, possibly a mirror reflecting light or an electronic device such as a cellphone or tablet. The object was left behind when Guzman made his escape from the maximum-security Altiplano prison. Also left behind was an ankle bracelet that was supposed to monitor his location.

Mexico has offered a $3.8 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Guzman, who is now the subject of an international manhunt.
