HONORING DETECTIVE EVERETT BRISCOE
______
HON. TROY A. CARTER
of louisiana
in the house of representatives
Friday, August 27, 2021
Mr. CARTER of Louisiana. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember Detective Everett Briscoe, a veteran of the New Orleans Police Department who was tragically shot and killed while off-duty in Houston this weekend.
Officer Briscoe served the New Orleans community for over 12 years, which included work for the department's homicide investigations division.
He was a father of two children and a friend to many. I'm lucky to have befriended him through our shared membership of the Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club, a Mardi Gras organization.
I was lucky to call him my Zulu brother.
Praying for his family, his friends, and the other victim in this senseless act of violence.
Sometimes life, in all its beauty, is inexplicably tragic.
But we will always have the memories we have shared together.
Rest in Peace, Detective Briscoe.
