NEW ORLEANS PRISON ESCAPE UPDATE – After 42 Days on The Run, New Orleans Fugitive Antoine Massey (Face Tattoos Guy) Has Been Captured... at a House in New Orleans, Only Derrick Groves Remains

WDSU – An inmate who has been on the run for over a month has been captured in New Orleans.

Antoine Massey was captured Friday afternoon in the Hollygrove neighborhood.

According to New Orleans Police Department Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick, Sheriff Susan Hutson received an anonymous tip that led to Massey's arrest.

Kirkpatrick and Hutson did not provide any additional information regarding who or where they tip came from.

Hutson said she received the tip around 11 a.m. and said Massey was captured around 3:30 p.m.

Once Massey is rebooked at the Orleans Parish jail, he will be taken to Angola where the other eight inmates are being held.

Massey was the ninth inmate captured after the May 16 jail break from the Orleans Parish Jail.

Shoutout Hollygrove. Every white kid born in the 90's who grew up listening to rap music's preferred inner-city New Orleans neighborhood. 

Good try, good effort Antoine. You had a hell of a run from the law. From the very jump, every person following the New Orleans prison break story had you pegged as the first to go down. It was because of your face. Specifically the tattoos on it. You are exceedingly easy to pick out of a lineup. 

But despite your distinguishing features. Despite the fact that this was your fourth time escaping some form of custody in your 33 years of life. Despite the fact that in 42 days on the run, you never quite got around the leaving New Orleans. Despite the fact that you were posting videos on Instagram. You made it way longer than anyone expected. 

Antoine Massey managed to outwit, outplay, outlast, 8 of his 9 fellow prison escapees who walked out a hole in the side of the prison.

That's a solid showing. A respectable showing. And I appreciated his "help me Donald Trump" Hail Mary of an Instagram video. A lot of people begrudged him for it. But Antoine thinks he's innocent, and for the first time in his life he had a platform where people might actually hear his case out. Although considering that after he posted that video, there was nobody who spoke up and said anything like, "Hey I looked into Antoine Massey's case and he was actually really fucked over", I'm guessing there's maybe a little more to the story than Antoine led us to believe. Because I know there was at least one alligator wrestling Louisiana lawyer looking for a high-profile case who at minimum gave his file a look.

Still… in a different reality, in a different time where Donald Trump wasn't preoccupied with the whole cerfluflfe in the Middle East, maybe Antoine Massey gets his attention. Again, if I had to bet, I'd lean towards he probably did a thing or two to deserve some time behind bars. But I can't help but think if you peek even slightly under the hood of any Louisiana prison case, you can probably pick out something that wasn't done entirely by the book. So who knows. Had he caught him on the right day… if there happened to be a politician in Louisiana who had crossed our President that day, and he thought he could use Antoine Massey to make him look incompetent… I'm just saying, I think it was worth a shot. 

But congratulations are in order for Derrick Groves. The escapee who was widely believed to be the most violent of the bunch. The convicted double murderer (with a couple of attempted murders to boot). If you had your shady off-shore gambling website money on Derrick Groves to be the last fugitive standing, you can go ahead and start the painstaking process of trying to get paid out now. It's been over 6 weeks since the mass Orleans Parish Justice Center escape on Friday, May 16th, and Derrick Groves is officially your Last Fugitive Standing.

I would say Derrick Groves is probably deep into the Mexican abyss by now, but judging by how almost every other fugitive failed to make it out of southeast Louisiana (with the exception of Jermaine Donald and Leo Tate who at least got to Texas before being busted in a high speed chase), I think it's probably more likely than not that Derrick Groves is currently hanging out somewhere in the French Quarter. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Derrick Groves got himself a fake mustache and car and managed to skip state. Maybe he'll manage to stay on the run long enough to have a movie made about him someday. Honestly there's probably already a Netflix drama, or at least a documentary in the works. You barely even have to work to get a TV show or movie made about you anymore. Hawk Tuah had a documentary out about her 6 months after she lit the internet on fire with a single blow job joke. 

9 down, 1 to go. Keep up the work, New Orleans.
