Antoine Massey, 32, remains on the run after a jailbreak involving ten inmates at the Orleans Parish Justice Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, earlier this month. According to the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office, the inmates escaped on May 6, exploiting defective cell locks and exiting through a wall behind a toilet. Surveillance footage showed the group leaving via a supply dock, scaling a perimeter wall, and fleeing across an interstate.

Authorities have since captured eight of the escapees, but Antoine Massey and Derrick Groves, 27, are still at large. The escape has prompted sweeping audits of the facility and increased scrutiny of its leadership.

Within five days of the escape, five inmates were apprehended. On May 16, three more were captured:

Among them is Massey’s sister, Daishanae Massey, who was arrested on May 27 for accessory after the fact and booked in the St. Tammany Parish Jail, according to Louisiana State Police. Daishanae allegedly helped hide her brother during the manhunt.

Massey’s girlfriend, a 21-year-old woman who is also his alleged domestic abuse victim, was also arrested. According to court documents cited by NOLA.com, she is accused of acting as a principal to aggravated escape and obstruction of justice. She is being held without bond at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center.
