Sheriff Susan Hutson said the inmate was released after OPSO mixed him up with a person with the same last name.

Khalil Bryan was released from the Orleans Justice Center due to a "human error," when he was confused with an individual with a similar last name, authorities said.

The error comes as the jail and the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office are still reeling from the escape of 10 inmates in the early morning hours of May 16 when authorities say the inmates exited through a hole in a cell wall after ripping out a toilet. One of those inmates, convicted killer Derrick Groves, has yet to be recaptured.
