Three more fighters on the run after a group of 10 inmates escaped from a New Orleans jail have been captured, authorities said Monday.

Authorities initially announced that Lenton Vanburen was arrested in Baton Rouge and was back in custody.

“Vanburen was initially incarcerated for parole violation, possession of a firearm by a felon, and illegal weapon possession,” stated Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill on X.

He will face additional charges related to his escape. 

Leo Tate and Jermaine Donald were arrested in Walker County, Texas, by the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Louisiana State Police said.

Huntsville Police in Texas reported that Donald and Tate led multiple law enforcement agencies on a high-speed pursuit before being apprehended.

“Leo Tate and Jermaine Donald were captured on May 26th after engaging law enforcement officers from several agencies in a high-speed chase throughout the Huntsville area,” the department shared on Facebook. “The chase concluded near US 190 and Geneva, where both individuals were arrested.”

Donald was originally charged with second-degree murder, aggravated battery, possession of a firearm or weapon by a felon and obstruction of justice.

Tate was jailed on charges of simple burglary of an inhabited dwelling, possession of a firearm or weapon by a felon, illegal carrying of a weapon, motor vehicle theft and multiple drug counts.

Donald and Tate now face additional charges in connection with the escape.

The trio were three of 10 inmates to make the brazen May 16 escape from their Orleans Parish jail. 

As of Monday, eight of the 10 escaped inmates have been re-captured. Before Vanburen’s capture, the most recent inmate arrest was made when Corey Boyd was taken into custody last week. The other inmates recaptured are Kendell Myles, Robert Moody, Dkenan Dennis and Gary Price.

In addition, 13 people have been arrested for allegedly aiding the escapees. Authorities announced Monday that the latest accomplice, 21-year-old Diamond White, was arrested for assisting Antoine Massey, who is still at-large.

Over the weekend, authorities arrested 28-year-old Lenika Vanburen, 18-year-old Patricia Vanburen, 27-year-old Tyshanea “Minnie” Randolph, 47-year-old Lenton Vanburen Sr., and 40-year-old Angel McKey. 

A source confirmed to Fox News that Vanburen Sr. is the father Lenton Vanburen Jr.

Two others — Casey Smith and Cortnie Harris — have been arrested for allegedly aiding the escapees. Another woman, Connie Weeden, 59, allegedly gave cash to Donald via a cellphone app.

She is charged with one felony count of accessory after the fact.

The remaining inmates on the run are:

Antoine Massey, 32, faces charges of domestic abuse involving strangulation, theft of a motor vehicle and a parole violation.

Derrick Groves, 27, faces three counts of attempted second-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder and battery of a correctional facility employee.

Authorities have reminded the public that these men are considered armed and dangerous.
