Has Derrick Groves changed his appearance? Alleged photo of escaped New Orleans inmate viral

A claim about the last escaped prisoner from New Orleans, Derrick Groves, has gone viral, which says citing New Orleans Police that Groves may have changed his appearance to not get caught. However, the claims are unsubstantiated, as there are records of New Orleans Police saying that they suspect Groves may have changed his appearance.

The claims going viral on social media had a set of mugshots, one of Groves, and the others seemed to be different variations of the same mugshot. The photo does not have any watermark or other attributions to suggest it is from the New Orleans Police Department.
Here are the viral mugshots:
Groves is the last inmate still at large among the 10 who escaped the New Orleans Parish Prison on May 16, 2025, through a wall behind the toilet. While eight of the escaped inmates, Jermaine Donald (43), Leo Tate (32), Lenton Vanburen (27), Corey Boyd (20), Gary Price (21), Dkenan Dennis (24), Robert Moody (22), and Kendall Myles (21, were caught within days of escaping, Antonie Massie and Derrick Groves continued to elude the New Orleans Police Department.

Antoine Massie Captured
Last week, Antoine Massie was arrested by the US Marshals Service at a residence in New Orleans, the Louisiana State Police said. The 33-year-old's arrest from the house in the city's Third District came after a tip from a local.
Derrick Groves, 28, meanwhile, still remains at large, with the New Orleans Police Department offering a reward of $50,000 for tips leading to his capture. Groves was charged in 2018 with two counts of second-degree murder for a shooting in 2018 at a Mardi Gras Event. He faces the possibility of a lifetime in prison without parole, per prosecutors.
Earlier this week, on Monday, all of the 10 recaptured inmates were charged with simple jail break at the Orleans Parish Criminal District Court, NOLA reported. Groves, once captured, will likely also face simple jailbreak charges.

US Contractors Fires Live Ammo As Palestinians Scramble For Food In Gaza: Reports

American contractors guarding aid distribution sites in Gaza are using live ammunition and stun grenades as hungry Palestinians scramble for food, according to accounts and videos obtained by The Associated Press. Two US contractors, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were revealing their employers' internal operations, said they came forward because they were disturbed by what they considered dangerous and irresponsible practices. They said the security staff hired were often unqualified, unvetted, heavily armed, and seemed to have an open license to do whatever they wished. Show Full

Hunter Biden turned to DNC for legal fees, ultimately his ‘sugar brother' footed millions

New book reveals that as legal trouble mounted for Hunter Biden last year, the then-first son reportedly begged the Democratic National Committee to cover his ballooning legal fees. A political tell-all states Hunter Biden pleaded for DNC assistance with his legal fees, which were declined. (AP Photo/Eric Thayer, File)(AP) The upcoming political tell-all, 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America claims the DNC declined, even though it had already been footing the legal bill for President Joe Biden's separate classified documents investigation. ALSO READ| Trump makes bombshell cocaine claim against Joe and Hunter Biden, says 'bad stuff happened' in White House Kevin Morris bankrolled Hunter's legal woes The book, written by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf, cites that by mid-2024, Hunter's legal situation had become increasingly dire. The former son's longtime backer and friend, Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris, nicknamed his 'sugar brother', had already paid off over $2 million in back taxes and was reportedly covering many of Hunter's legal expenses. These included not only defence attorneys but also court-mandated payments like alimony to ex-wife Kathleen Buhle and child support to Lunden Roberts, the mother of Hunter's daughter, Navy Joan, as the New York Post cited. Morris, who testified before House Republicans earlier this year, estimated that Hunter's legal tab had hit $5 million by the time the 2024 presidential race began heating up. However, Morris' own daughter criticised Hunter, accusing him of 'taking advantage' of her father's support. How Hunter Biden's trials undid a Presidency Last June, a law firm that once represented Hunter sued him for allegedly failing to pay over $50,000 in outstanding fees. On 11 June 2024, Hunter was convicted on three felony gun charges. Just months later, in September, he pleaded guilty to several tax felonies for evading $1.4 million in IRS payments. 'The only thing I care about is that my son is not convicted,' Then President Joe Biden told one of his close friends, per The Wall Street Journal. Notably, Joe even considered creating a legal defence fund to help Hunter battle both federal charges and the ongoing congressional inquiry into his overseas business dealings.
