Authorities have conducted a search at the location where one of the two remaining escapees from a New Orleans jail allegedly recorded an Instagram video asserting his innocence, according to a source involved in the investigation.

Antoine Massey, 33, was not located during the raid, the source told Fox News. 

During the raid, authorities discovered clothing that belonged to Massey, as reported by the Associated Press, who cited an unnamed official. It was reported that Massey’s relatives identified the residence, which led the police to the location. 

In a video that has since been removed from Instagram, Massey seemed to claim that he did not escape from jail on May 16, but that he was released.

Over the past two-and-half weeks, LSP has led the manhunt to capture the escapees, with help from local and federal partners. So far, eight of the men have been brought back into custody. 

Derrick Groves, 28, a four-time killer, is the only other inmate besides Massey who has not been captured. He was being held in the jail while awaiting sentencing for an October 2024 guilty verdict in a double homicide during Mardi Gras in 2018. After he was convicted, he pleaded guilty to two counts of manslaughter.  

Massey was in jail pending a trial on charges of domestic abuse involving strangulation, theft of a motor vehicle and a parole violation. This is the fourth time that Massey has escaped from police custody.

Massey’s sister, 31-year-old Daishanae Massey, is one of 14 people who have been arrested for allegedly aiding the escapees either before or after they broke out of the jail. 

Groves and Massey each have a $50,000 bounty on their heads from various agencies involved in the manhunt.
