The Minnesota Corrections Department is seeking a fugitive Level 3 predatory offender last seen Friday in Rochester.
Michael James Costa was released from prison on July 25, 2016, to intensive supervised release by Olmsted County. He has been on fugitive status since Friday, when he left supervision while living in Rochester.
He was last seen leaving his home on a black mountain bike, wearing a black leather jacket and black jeans. He is known to use the aliases Maliik Gouli and Malik Mujaheed Hassan Costa.

Costa has a criminal history that includes two convictions for criminal-sexual conduct against underage girls, in 2004 and 2012. He also has two convictions for failing to register as a predatory offender.
Citizens should not attempt to confront Costa. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call 911 or the DOC Investigator assigned to the case at 651-361-7777.
