11 Inmates Escape Orleans Parish Jail, City on High Alert
Hey everyone, I want to talk about something incredibly serious that’s happening right now in New Orleans. As of this morning, the city is on edge following a major and shocking development— 11 inmates have escaped from the Orleans Parish Jail , and several of them are facing extremely violent charges, including murder and attempted murder .
This isn’t just a minor incident—it’s a full-scale crisis. The escape reportedly happened sometime around midnight last night, but wasn’t discovered until 8:30 a.m. during a routine headcount. That means for over eight hours, these individuals—some considered armed and extremely dangerous—were loose, and nobody even knew.

So far, only one of the escapees, Kendell Myles , has been captured. He was found in a French Quarter parking garage thanks to facial recognition software connected to the Project NOLA camera system. Myles, by the way, has a history. He once escaped a juvenile facility and was previously accused of shooting a man in Uptown New Orleans. That case was dismissed because of a missed court deadline. It’s terrifying to think someone like that was unaccounted for overnight.
As for the rest, we’re talking about serious criminals. Among the escapees are Derrick Groves , convicted in a double murder during a Mardi Gras mass shooting, and Corey Boyd , who is facing multiple counts including murder and aggravated battery. Jermaine Donald and Gary Price are also accused of violent crimes. This isn't just a list of petty offenders—this is a public safety emergency.
The jail is currently on full lockdown, and law enforcement agencies, including New Orleans Police, Louisiana State Police, and even the FBI, are working together in a massive manhunt. NOPD Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick issued a clear warning: anyone caught helping these escapees will be charged as accomplices. She also stressed the urgency for any victims or witnesses related to the inmates' pending cases to come forward or seek help if they feel unsafe.
Right now, one of the biggest concerns is how such a serious breach even occurred in the first place. Eleven inmates managed to escape from the same tier of the facility without detection for hours. That’s not a simple oversight—it raises major questions about the security systems in place and how a failure like this could happen.
Photos and full descriptions of the escapees haven’t all been released yet, but the Sheriff’s Office and NOPD are promising to keep the public updated as they go. In the meantime, authorities are urging all residents of New Orleans to remain vigilant. These individuals are not just on the run—they’re potentially dangerous and desperate.
Stay safe, stay informed, and if you see anything suspicious—report it immediately. This is an evolving story, and the next few hours and days are critical for the safety of our community.
