2 Escapees From the New Orleans Jailbreak Remain at Large. One Has a Lot of Experience Being on the Run
- On May 16, 2025, 10 inmates escaped from the Orleans Parish jail through a hole behind a toilet, with two escapees still at large in New Orleans and Texas.
- The escape followed a coordinated plan reportedly involving faulty locks, stolen blankets, insider help, and at least 13 people charged with aiding the fugitives.
- Two escapees still free are 33-year-old Antoine Massey, known for multiple escapes since 2007, and 27-year-old Derrick Groves, convicted last year for a 2018 Mardi Gras double homicide.
- Authorities offer $20,000 rewards for information leading to capture and describe Massey and Groves as armed and dangerous, with law enforcement conducting an intensified multi-state search.
- The breakout exposed security failures and ongoing risks to community safety, prompting officials to vow accountability and continued pursuit of fugitives and their collaborators.
