Final fugitive in New Orleans jail escape, who pleaded with Trump for assistance, found as search ends.

One remaining Orleans Parish prison escapee is still on the run after local and federal officials on Friday arrested ninth fugitive Antoine Massey.

One of the 10 inmates, Massey, fled from a minimum-security area at the Orleans Justice Center on May 16 by extracting a toilet from a cell wall and squeezing through the opening.

One fugitive, four-time convicted killer Derrick Groves, remains at large.

“It’s the final countdown,” Gov. Jeff Landry said in a Friday post on X.

At the time of the incident, the facility was operating at only 60% of its required staff capacity. There were only four supervisors and 36 staff members overseeing a population of 1,400 prisoners, according to officials.

Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson announced a temporary suspension of her re-election campaign in a statement on May 21.

A total $50,000 reward from different agencies is being offered for information leading to Groves’ arrest.
