Which single word means ‘a person who has escaped from captivity or is in hiding, typically to avoid arrest’?

Explanation

A ‘fugitive’ is a person who has escaped from captivity, such as prison, or who is in hiding, typically to avoid being arrested or caught by authorities. This differs from an ‘immigrant,’ a person who has come to live permanently in a different country, and a ‘nomad,’ a person who regularly moves from place to place without a fixed intent to evade capture.
