A man who escaped from a New Orleans jail and identifies himself as Antoine Massey appeared in social media videos this week while still on the run, prompting a police raid that failed to locate him.
Authorities say the videos, posted Sunday and later removed, showed a man resembling Massey pleading for help and sparked a search of a New Orleans home Monday night, per the Associated Press.
