Five months after 10 The prisoners burst out of Louisiana prisonThe last escape was captured, the Louisiana state police confirmed on Wednesday.

The escaped prisoner, 28-year-old Derrick Groves, was removed in Atlanta, Georgia, after a short defend, police said.

Police have launched several gas boxes into a house that is thought to be hiding, and then found him hiding in a crawl space, CBS News reported, BBC’s US partner reported.

The 10 prisoners, including Groves, had escaped from the Orleans Justice Center in May, pulling a toilet off the wall and breaking metal bars around the hole in the wall before climbing the hall and running through the highway.

The prisoners had thrown several messages into the wall above the hole, including “To Easy lol”, a smiling face with a protruding tongue, and another who seems to tell employees to catch them if they could.

The prisoners ‘escape was easier than the “perfect storm” of staff problems and disadvantages of construction design, said Orleans’ parish sheriff Susan Hutson in August.

Three were found within 24 hours of their escape and several Others were captured In the coming weeks.

The deputy Marshal Marshal Brian Fair from the Eastern County of Louisiana told CBS News that the Council had made investigators track Groves to the Atlanta region.

When the police first approached home, there seems to be no one there, he said.

“We had concerns, maybe he wasn’t in the house,” Fair told CBS. “But in the end, they found him hiding in a crawling space. I believe the crawl space is in the basement … And he has considered a little thought in the hiding place in which he was.”

Groves was sentenced to second -degree murder in October 2024 after fired a rifle for attack at Mardi Grass’s party, killing two adults, CBS reported.

He was also convicted of attempted murder and federal charges of firearms and was sentenced to life imprisonment, according to a police station in Atlanta.

Groves are now faced with additional accusations of his role in the escape, said Louisiana Prosecutor General Liz Muril.

“I will guarantee that he is pursued in full of law,” she added.

Groves will be extradited to Louisiana for processing, police in Atlanta said.
