In a significant development, Antoine Massey, one of the ten inmates who made a daring escape from the Orleans Parish Jail six weeks ago, has been recaptured. The arrest follows a meticulous, multi-agency operation, underscoring the collaborative efforts of law enforcement agencies across various jurisdictions. Massey was apprehended on Strolling Street in the Hollygrove area, effectively making him the ninth inmate to be brought back into custody.
The operation, sparked by a crucial tip-off, involved the combined efforts of the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Homeland Security, the Parish Sheriff's Office (PSO), State Police, U.S. Marshals, and the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office (JPSO). This sweeping collaboration highlights the dedication and resource-sharing among agencies in ensuring community safety.
Officials at a recent NOPD news conference emphasized the relentless pursuit undertaken to close in on Massey. "Through our resilience and, more importantly, our collaboration, we were able to bring Mr. Massey into custody," expressed the lead spokesperson. However, the work is not yet complete, as one fugitive, Derrick Groves, remains elusive. Law enforcement has yet to obtain substantive information about Grows’ whereabouts, keeping the community on edge.
Authorities are making an earnest appeal to the public for information that could lead to Groves’ capture. The existing reward for any information is set at $50,000, reflecting the critical nature of apprehending the remaining fugitive to ensure community safety in Louisiana. Citizens are urged to contact Crime Stoppers, the ATF, or the FBI with any leads. The successful return of Massey serves as a testament to steadfast policing efforts, but the search continues with the same vigor for the final escapee still at large.
