Two more of the 10 inmates who escaped from a New Orleans jail have been captured.

As WDSU reported, Robert Moody and DKenan Dennis were taken into custody. Moody was captured around 7:30 p.m. Friday 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.

Both inmates escaped from the Orleans Parish Jail along with eight others. One other escapee was captured before Moody and Dennis.

As previously reported by CrimeOnline, authorities found Kendall Myles, 20, hiding under a car in a parking garage at Hotel Monteleone.

The Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office said the inmates tampered with a defective cell door, broke it open, breached a wall behind a toilet, and escaped through a supply dock door.

Authorities believe the inmates also scaled a wall and crossed the interstate. WWL reported that although the jail was on lockdown during the escape, defective locks and doors allowed them to flee.

The inmates still at large are Antoine Massey, Lenton Vanburen, Leo Tate, Derrick Groves, Jermain Donald, Corey Boyd, and Gary Price. According to NOLA.com, some face charges including murder, rape, armed robbery, and aggravated assault.

ABC News reported that Boyd, Vanburen, Donald, and Groves face second-degree murder charges.

New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick urged the public to remain alert. “We don’t want panic, but we do want people to be mindful,” she said. Authorities said they moved a group of people believed to be victims of the escapees to safety.

WDSU reported that Sheriff Susan Hutson said the escape would have been “impossible without help” from within the department. She said the inmates used a tool — which they could not access on their own — to dig a hole in the cell wall.

“We are launching a full investigation to determine how this escape occurred, including reviewing facility protocols, staff performance, and physical security measures,” Hutson said, according to ABC News.

The escaped inmates are considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information about their whereabouts should call Crime Stoppers at 504-822-1111
