Three inmates accused of escaping from New Orleans’ main lockup in one of Louisiana’s biggest jailbreaks ever have been apprehended, leaving two at large, officials said Monday.

Jermaine Donald, 42, who was jailed on charges of second-degree murder and other crimes before he escaped, was taken into custody in Texas with another inmate accused of fleeing the Orleans Justice Center on May 16, Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said in a statement.

That inmate, Leo Tate, 31, had been in custody on burglary and firearms charges, Murrill said.

The Texas Department of Public Safety arrested the two men in Walker County, north of Houston, the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

Separately, Lenton Vanburen, 26, who was jailed on firearms and parole violation charges, was taken into custody in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the city’s police department said in a statement.
