News Footage Shows Inside Of Home Where Derrick Groves Was Found & Neighbor’s Reaction
On Thursday, October 9, Fox 8 published footage showing an inside look at the home where Derrick Groves, a man who escaped from a New Orleans jail alongside nine others in May, was found hiding out. Per the outlet, the house’s owner, Richard McQueen, granted reporters access to the “ransacked” space.
Furthermore, additional footage showed that the outlet’s reporter, Gabby Killett, spoke with McQueen as he walked her through the property. He reportedly explained that he rented the home to a young woman; however, he apparently didn’t obtain too much information regarding her background.
Meanwhile, when Killett spoke to a neighbor, apparently living across the street from McQueen’s home, she didn’t hold back on her humorous reaction to the whole ordeal.

More On Derrick Groves & His Escape From A New Orleans Jail
As The Shade Room previously reported, in May, Derrick Groves escaped from the Orleans Parish Justice Center alongside nine others. At the time, it was reported that the group did so by removing a toilet from a wall, reportedly being aided by the center’s failing locks.

The ninth out of the total inmates, Antoine Massey, was captured in June, as previously reported by The Shade Room. Derrick Groves, however, remained MIA until October 8. As The Shade Room previously reported, a tip pointed to Groves hiding out in an Atlanta home. The city’s SWAT team then raided the home and used gas and K-9s to smoke Groves out.
Now, Fox 8 reports that investigators are searching for those who aided Groves with his evasion.
“We know that Groves was not able to be out there for as long as he was without assistance from others,” New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick reportedly told the outlet. “It’s still an open investigation in terms of those who did help because it is a crime to aid and abet. There are people of interest, and it will be followed through with people charged.”
Meanwhile, Derrick Groves has been extradited to Louisiana, but he was booked into the Louisiana State Penitentiary, a maximum-security jail.
All 10 Orleans Parish escapees are back in Louisiana.
