How many inmates are still on the run from New Orleans jail? What are their charges?
The massive manhunt for 10 inmates who broke out of a New Orleans jail stretched into its 12th day May 28 as two remaining escapees continued to evade authorities.
The inmates fled the Orleans Parish jail on May 16. Authorities said the group pulled open defective cell doors, ripped out a toilet to create a hole in the jail and then climbed a wall to escape.
Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams told USA TODAY the escape appeared to be an "inside job." At least 13 people have been arrested for allegedly aiding the inmates.
Authorities are offering awards of up to $20,000 per inmate for information leading to their arrests. Louisiana State Police have pledged to "pursue every lead" until the inmates who remain at-large are once again in custody.
Here's what to know about the inmates who are being sought:
Two of the 10 inmates who escaped from the jail are still at-large.
Kendell Myles, Robert Moody and Dkenan Dennis were taken back in custody within hours of their escape. Days later, Gary Price and Corey Boyd were nabbed in New Orleans, according to Louisiana State Police.
On May 26, Lenton Vanburen was captured in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, while Leo Tate and Jermaine Donald were arrested in Walker County, Texas.

Groves was convicted of two charges of second-degree murder and two charges of attempted second-degree murder in October in connection with a shooting during Mardi Gras in 2018. Groves also has been awaiting sentencing on a manslaughter charge since October.
He also faces a charge of battery against a correctional facility employee, the Associated Press reported, citing court records.
Massey is charged with domestic abuse involving strangulation and theft of a motor vehicle, according to Orleans Parish records.
There also is a warrant for his arrest in St. Tammany Parish for second-degree rape, second-degree kidnapping, domestic abuse involving strangulation and violation of a protective order involving battery stemming from an incident in November, the parish's sheriff's office told USA TODAY.

Man opened fire outside Michigan church before staff fatally shot him, averting mass shooting, police say
WAYNE, Mich. — A man who opened fire outside a Michigan church filled with worshipers Sunday was struck by a vehicle and then fatally shot by security staff who averted a potential mass shooting, police said. Churchgoers attending a morning service at CrossPointe Community Church in Wayne spotted a man driving recklessly and then saw him exit his car wearing a tactical vest and carrying a rifle and a handgun, Wayne Police Chief Ryan Strong said at an evening news conference. The man began firing as he approached the church, striking one person in the leg, Strong said. 'A parishioner struck the gunman with his vehicle as the gunman shot the vehicle repeatedly,' Strong told reporters. 'At least two staff members shot the gunman, causing the fatal wounds.' Police described the suspect as a 31-year-old white male with no known connection to the church. His motive remains unclear, but it appears he was suffering from a mental health crisis, Strong said. The shooting occurred around 11 a.m. in Wayne, a city of about 17,000 people about 25 miles west of Detroit. The person who was shot in the leg was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, the chief said. Nobody else besides the gunman was hurt. Strong said a church member ran the suspect over with his pickup truck, giving security staff time to shoot him. 'We are grateful for the heroic actions of the church's staff members, who undoubtedly saved many lives and prevented a large-scale mass shooting,' the chief said. About 150 people were inside the church at the time. The church's website says it hosts a worship service on Sundays at 10:45 a.m. Worshiper Wendy Bodin said that she heard a loud boom and that when she looked outside, she saw a man sprawled out on the grass in front of the church. 'I thought he got hit or crashed his car or was hurt,' Bodin told WXYZ-TV. 'And another lady saw and pointed to me and said, 'Oh, my, call 911!'' Wayne Police Deputy Chief Finley Carter III said hours later that it was too early to know a motive. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino tweeted that bureau 'leadership and support teams' were at the scene and helping with the investigation. Messages left by the Associated Press on Sunday by voicemail and on a Facebook page for the church were not immediately returned. Sancya and Ramer write for the Associated Press and reported from Wayne and Concord, N.Y., respectively. AP writer Todd Richmond in Madison, Wis., and Christopher Weber in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

Ezra Miller has 'a lot of remorse' for past controversies, talks Hollywood comeback
After a shaky time in the spotlight, Ezra Miller isn't ready to sprint back to Hollywood. "The Flash" star, whose Hollywood ascent was derailed amid mounting legal issues, addressed their past controversies and future in the entertainment industry in an interview with Lo Speciale Giornale published June 19. Miller, 32, spoke to the Italian outlet shortly after attending the Cannes Film Festival in May for their first major red-carpet appearance since falling from grace. Miller said they appeared at the renowned film festival at the request of their friend, "Die My Love" director Lynne Ramsay, adding that their relationship with the movie industry is on "tentative grounds." "If you've been in the woods for three years, I do not recommend going straight to Cannes, where every photographer and every weirdo, every rich genocidal freak (will) be there, you know what I mean?" Miller said. "It's not an easy reentry." 10 bingeable memoirs to check out: Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé Miller broke out on the big screen in 2012 with a role in the coming-of-age drama "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," later playing Credence Barebone in the Harry Potter "Fantastic Beasts" franchise (2016-2022) and superhero speedster Barry Allen in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (2016) and "Justice League" (2017). But in 2022, a series of highly publicized scandals cast a shadow on Miller's rising star. The actor was arrested in Hawaii on a charge of disorderly conduct in March, followed by an arrest on suspicion of assault in April. A few months later, Miller was accused of grooming an 18-year-old activist by the teen's parents and also charged with felony burglary in a separate incident in Vermont (Miller pleaded not guilty). "Not that I don't hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things that I did and for a lot of things that happened in that time, but I'm really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss," Miller reflected. Ezra Miller's past legal troubles: What to know about actor's controversies In an August 2022 statement to USA TODAY, Miller said they were undergoing treatment for "complex mental health issues" following the string of criminal and abuse allegations brought against them: "I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life." "When we go through those crucibles, if we can survive, which was up in the air for me if I'm being real, we then have that capacity to see other people in their crucibles and just to reach towards them," Miller told Lo Speciale Giornale. "That grows more and more rarefied in our world, too. Like, the capacity to do that, the desire to do that, the willingness to do that." "The Flash" premiered in June 2023 and despite earning mixed reviews from critics, the DC superhero flick grossed $271.4 million worldwide. While Miller hasn't appeared in a major project since the film's release, the actor said they've been "writing a lot," including working with Ramsay on a movie that will "likely" be their first new release.
