‘Walking Definition of a Flight Risk’: Nine of 10 New Orleans Jailbreak Escapees Captured
Share this @internewscast.com

One of the last two New Orleans inmate escapees has been captured.

According to NOLA.com, on Friday at approximately 11 a.m., Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson was alerted by an anonymous tip about the location of Antoine Massey, who had escaped from the Orleans Parish Justice Center.

The 33-year-old Massey was discovered at a rental property located in Hollygrove on the 9400 block of Stroelitz Street. Teams from the Louisiana State Police along with federal agencies, including the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. Marshals Service, surrounded the location and apprehended Massey by 3:30 p.m. He surrendered peacefully and was transported to the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola.

As previously covered by CrimeOnline, a manhunt was initiated in Louisiana following the escape of 10 inmates from a jail roughly six weeks ago on May 16. The Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office reported that the inmates manipulated a faulty cell door, which eventually broke, allowing them to breach a wall behind a toilet and exit through a supply dock door. Additionally, they are believed to have scaled a wall and crossed the interstate during their escape.

On the day of the breakout, Kendall Myles, 20, was discovered hiding under a car at a parking garage at Hotel Monteleone.

Two more inmates, Robert Moody and DKenan Dennis, were taken into custody, as WDSU reported. Moody was captured around 7:30 p.m. on May 16 by Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office deputies near Central City. Officers found Dennis the same day near Chef Menteur Highway and Dale Street in New Orleans East.

On May 19, Gary Price, 21, was taken into custody, and Corey Boyd, 19, was arrested on May 20, making them the fourth and fifth out of the 10 inmate escapees to be captured.

On Memorial Day, Lenton Vanburen was captured in Baton Rouge, while Leo Tate and Jermaine Donald were taken into custody in Texas, according to WDSU.

Derrick Groves, 27, is the only remaining escapee still not apprehended, according to NOLA.com.

At the time of Massey’s arrest, there was no information concerning whether there were any other people in the house.

Massey appeared via Zoom before Magistrate Commissioner Jay Daniels from the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, where he is being held on a charge of aggravated escape.

Assistant Attorney General Daniel Smart asked Daniels to deny bond, a request defense attorney Steve Smith called “absolutely ridiculous.”

“This man is literally the walking definition of a flight risk,” Smart argued. “He has cost the taxpayers of the state and the city untold millions of dollars. And he can sit at Angola until his case is resolved. The state is going to be seeking, at a bare minimum, an additional 10 years consecutive to whatever else he gets.”

The judge ruled Massey to be held without bond.

Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI, or at fbi.gov/neworleansfugitives, Tipsters can also contact Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111 or at CrimestoppersGNO.org, or the Louisiana State Police Fusion Center at 225-925-4192.
