Lavar Briggs, 19, was fatally shot outside a bar in Cleveland, Ohio, on April 13, 2019. A former East Tech basketball player, Briggs was placed on life support after the shooting but did not survive his injuries. The killing was one of several gun violence incidents that year which drew community attention and mourning; people in the neighborhood held vigils and lit candles in his memory.

Authorities later linked a string of 2019 Cleveland murders to an investigation led by the Cleveland Division of Police Homicide Unit, the FBI and the Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation. In April 2023, a 33-year-old named Terrell Silver was indicted in connection with multiple 2019 murders; reports noted timing and locations that suggest a possible connection to Briggs, though specific victim names were not disclosed.

Did anyone who knew Lavar or was in that area on April 13, 2019, see anything that could help clarify what happened?
