Police raid house where video was filmed showing escaped New Orleans inmate

Police raided the house where they believed several videos were filmed this past weekend showing escaped New Orleans jail inmate Antoine Massey pleading for help from President Trump and several celebrities, according to a news report Wednesday.

The videos posted on social media show a man who claims to be Massey – among 10 inmates who escaped May 16 – pleading his innocence and begging for help from President Donald Trump, rappers Meek Mill and Lil Wayne and others.

The police then raided the house seen in the video, but Massey was not there, sources told CNN

In the weeks since the escape, eight of the 10 inmates have been recaptured, with Massey and Derrick Groves still on the run.

Massey was serving time for domestic abuse, auto theft and parole violations, while Groves was awaiting sentencing for multiple murders.

The Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office posted Tuesday on the social media platform X that the reward for finding Massey or Groves had been increased from $20,000 to $50,000 for each. 

“Antoine Massey & Derrick Groves are still at large,” the post reads. “The reward for information leading to their arrest has increased to $50,000 each, thanks to contributions from Crimestoppers GNO, the FBI, & the ATF.”

“Law enforcement agencies continue to work around the clock to bring them in,” the post also reads.
