ATLANTA — Derrick Groves, the last of ten inmates who escaped the Orleans Parish Justice Center in May, was taken into custody after a standoff with police in Atlanta, Georgia, WWL reported Wednesday.

According to WWL , Groves was surrounded at a home in southwest Atlanta midday Wednesday. Law enforcement reportedly gassed the home multiple times before Groves was taken into custody.

Groves, 31, escaped the New Orleans jail with nine other inmates on May 16. In the weeks and months following the escape, the other escapees were all arrested.

Before Groves, the most recent escapee captured was Antoine Massey in June.

Groves had previously been serving time for killing two men on Mardi Gras Day 2018 in the Ninth Ward. He was awaiting sentencing.
