After nearly five months on the run, convicted killer Derrick Groves was arrested Wednesday following an standoff with police in Atlanta, putting an end to a sweeping, multi-agency search for the last of 10 inmates who broke free from the New Orleans jail in May.

Groves, 27, was apprehended around 1 p.m., according Deputy U.S. Marshal Brian Fair. He was captured at a southwest Atlanta residence following a standoff, according to Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams.

Groves was one of 10 inmates who escaped the Orleans Parish jail on May 16 after crawling through a hole in a cell wall. The infamous jailbreak spurred a sprawling manhunt that produced more than a dozen arrests, including that of jail maintenance worker Sterling Williams, who is accused of aiding in the escape.
