The search for two remaining escapees from the May 16 jailbreak from the Orleans Justice Center continues on Thursday, as the men approach two weeks on the run. 

Derrick Groves, who was housed in the jail while awaiting sentencing after a jury found him guilty in October of a double homicide during Mardi Gras in 2018, is one of the remaining fugitives. 

He pleaded guilty to two counts of manslaughter in unrelated cases thereafter, and was scheduled to be sentenced in July.

“He would be housed in the most secure location within the jail,” Lindsay told Fox News Digital. “All staff would be apprised of this individual, and given his incredibly high risk for escape, I would require documented frequent checks at least once every 30 minutes on an irregular schedule.”

“I would also insist on documented correctional supervisor rounds, ensuring line staff are strictly following guidelines for inmates of this caliber who present the greatest threat to the community,” he said.

The other eight prisoners who escaped from their cell and hopped the barbed wire fence to freedom have all been recaptured.

So far, 14 people have also been arrested for allegedly aiding the fugitives either before or after the escape.
