9 men at large after escape from New Orleans jail including 4 charged with murder

Ten inmates escaped from a New Orleans jail early Friday, possibly with help from staff, according to the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office. One escapee, Kendell Myles, charged with attempted second‑degree murder, was recaptured in the French Quarter. Nine remain at large, including four charged with murder. The inmates broke out through a wall behind a toilet and scaled a fence using blankets. Faulty locks and absent supervision contributed to the breach. Authorities suspect internal assistance and have placed three employees on leave, ABC News has reported. A full investigation and manhunt are underway, with rewards offered for tips.
