Share this @internewscast.com

Two more of the 10 inmates who escaped from a New Orleans jail have been captured.

According to a report by WDSU, authorities detained Robert Moody and DKenan Dennis. Moody was apprehended around 7:30 p.m. on Friday by officers from the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office near Central City. Dennis was located on the same day near the intersection of Chef Menteur Highway and Dale Street in New Orleans East.

Both inmates escaped from the Orleans Parish Jail along with eight others. One other escapee was captured before Moody and Dennis.

As previously reported by CrimeOnline, authorities found Kendall Myles, 20, hiding under a car in a parking garage at Hotel Monteleone.

The Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office reported that the inmates manipulated a faulty cell door, forced it open, breached a wall behind a toilet, and exited through a supply dock door.

Authorities suspect that the inmates also climbed a wall and crossed the interstate. As noted by WWL, even though the jail was under lockdown at the time, malfunctioning locks and doors enabled their escape.

The inmates still at large are Antoine Massey, Lenton Vanburen, Leo Tate, Derrick Groves, Jermain Donald, Corey Boyd, and Gary Price. According to NOLA.com, some face charges including murder, rape, armed robbery, and aggravated assault.

ABC News reported that Boyd, Vanburen, Donald, and Groves face second-degree murder charges.

New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick urged the public to remain alert. “We don’t want panic, but we do want people to be mindful,” she said. Authorities said they moved a group of people believed to be victims of the escapees to safety.

WDSU reported that Sheriff Susan Hutson said the escape would have been “impossible without help” from within the department. She said the inmates used a tool — which they could not access on their own — to dig a hole in the cell wall.

“We are launching a full investigation to determine how this escape occurred, including reviewing facility protocols, staff performance, and physical security measures,” Hutson said, according to ABC News.

The escaped inmates are considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information about their whereabouts should call Crime Stoppers at 504-822-1111
