Derrick Groves Speaks: Grandma’s Death, Mardi Gras Shooting, Prison, The Great Escape & Manhunt

In this powerful and emotional episode of The Convo, Derrick Groves sits down for one of his most in-depth conversations yet. Derrick opens up about the death of his grandmother, the Mardi Gras shooting that ultimately led to his incarceration, and how that moment changed the trajectory of his life forever. We talk about grief, pressure, and the chain of decisions that followed. The conversation then turns to what the world labeled “The Great Escape”—the prison escape that sparked a massive manhunt across the region. Derrick addresses the rumors head-on, including questions the public still asks today: 👉 Where was he hiding? 👉 Did he disguise himself? 👉 What was going through his mind while the entire country was looking for him? Throughout the interview, Derrick proclaims his innocence, speaks on accountability, and reflects on how media narratives can shape public opinion before the full story is ever told. This episode isn’t about glorifying crime—it’s about context, consequence, and conversation. A raw look at grief, survival, and the long road toward truth and redemption. 🎙️ Watch. Listen.
