One remaining Orleans Parish prison escapee is still on the run after local and federal officials on Friday arrested ninth fugitive Antoine Massey.
Massey was one of 10 prisoners to escape a minimum-custody site at the Orleans Justice Center on May 16 when they removed a toilet from a wall inside a cell and then crawled through it.
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.
The Orleans Justice Center is only at 60% staffing, and at the time of the escape, four supervisors and 36 staff members were monitoring 1,400 inmates, authorities said.

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.
