As five escaped inmates remain on the loose, we are learning that some of their alleged victims have gone into hiding. WDSU reporter Shay O'Connor shows why investigators believe that 33-year-old Antoine Massey could take a while to track down. Massey has a criminal background that dates back to 2007. That is the year he is said to have escaped a juvenile detention center that's now known as the Juvenile Justice Intervention Center.

As the search continues for the remaining escaped inmates from a New Orleans jail, sister station WDSU is hearing from people who said they spotted the escapees in several places across New Orleans. That includes a local ride share driver who told WDSU that he potentially gave a ride to one of the inmates, Lenton Vanburen. WDSU spoke with that driver who was still fearful the day after what he said he heard and saw, when he took his final drive in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Sources close to WDSU confirm that one of the escaped inmates, Derrick Groves, is the grandson of Kim Groves. Groves was a 32-year-old mother of three when she was gunned down in the 9th ward in October of 1994. The hit was ordered by corrupt NOPD officer Len Davis. WDSU reporter Shay O'Connor went back to the area and spoke exclusively with neighbors who want Groves to turn himself in. Three decades later, a fresh arrangement of flowers is consistently placed here where Groves was shot and killed.
