Antoine Massey Caught in New Orleans Six Weeks After Jailbreak

Antoine Massey, one of the final two fugitives from the May 16 Orleans Justice Center jailbreak, was quietly arrested on June 27 in New Orleans after weeks on the run. The 33‑year‑old, charged with rape, kidnapping, domestic violence and motor‑vehicle theft, surrendered peacefully at an Airbnb-style residence; confirmed by New Orleans Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick and Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson, who said the breakthrough came via a citizen tip . Authorities credit Massey’s social-media activity, including videos pleading innocence and claiming he was “let out,” for helping track him down. Now back behind bars, Massey faces extra charges tied to the escape and continued assistance of formal investigations into jail security lapses. With only one escapee still at large, law enforcement hopes this marks the last chapter in a dramatic manhunt.
