Rico Harris, 46, known as Big Brim, was a high-ranking member of the Gangster Disciples in Memphis whose criminal activity drew federal attention. He was indicted in spring 2019 as part of Operation 38 Special, a broad federal probe into the gang’s operations that included racketeering charges. Harris pleaded guilty to conspiracy to participate in racketeering activity on June 7, 2019, and was awaiting sentencing when he died on June 27, 2019.

Harris’s role in the investigation and the timing of his death leave outstanding questions about the circumstances surrounding his passing.
