US EditionAuthorities Search Natchez Area for New Orleans Jail Escapee
- Authorities are conducting a multi-agency search near Natchez, Mississippi, for Antoine T. Massey, a fugitive from the May 16 escape at Orleans Parish Correctional Facility.
- The escape occurred when ten inmates, including Massey, climbed through a hole behind a toilet, enabled by deficient security and delayed jail staff awareness until about 8:30 a.m.
- Eight escapees have been recaptured, while Massey and Derrick Groves, both charged with violent crimes, remain at large and are considered extremely dangerous by officials.
- A 911 call reported a possible Massey sighting around 10 a.m. Tuesday near Providence Road, but law enforcement believes he is no longer in the immediate area.
- The escape has exposed longstanding operational failures at the jail, prompting a $20,000 reward for Massey's capture and ongoing public safety efforts by multiple agencies.
