New Orleans jail escapee Derrick Groves, who spent nearly five months on the run before being recaptured in Georgia, agreed to be returned to Louisiana during an appearance before a Fulton County magistrate judge. On Thursday, the New Orleans native told the judge “I want to return where I’m from.” Louisiana authorities say they are now working through the logistics to retrieve Groves, who will be placed in the state’s maximum security prison at Angola, according to the state’s attorney general. Groves, who was the last of 10 escapees at large following a brazen break out from a New Orleans jail in May, was recaptured Wednesday under a basement crawlspace in an Atlanta home.

All 10 fugitives who made a brazen escape from a New Orleans jail in May are back in custody after the last inmate was captured in Atlanta. Derrick Groves was found Wednesday holed up in the basement crawl space of an Atlanta home. The 28-year-old had the most violent record of the 10 escapees. A New Orleans jury convicted Groves last year of killing two people after he opened fire on a family block party with an assault rifle in what prosecutors say was drug-related. Authorities say the tip leading to Groves’ capture came in via New Orleans Crimestoppers, an anonymous tip program.
