Everett Briscoe, a 41-year-old African American detective with the New Orleans Police Department, was shot and killed on August 21, 2021, while dining at the Grotto Ristorante in Houston, Texas. He was on a trip with friends from a well-known New Orleans social club. Briscoe was a 13-year law enforcement veteran and a husband and father of two.

Houston police say two men approached the restaurant patio armed and demanded money. Briscoe was shot in the head and killed; his friend Dyrin Riculfy was also wounded and taken to hospital in critical condition. Investigators identified two suspects, Frederick Jackson and Anthony Jenkins, and arrested them; authorities described the attack as an apparent robbery. Both men were reported to have been out on bond for earlier crimes at the time of the shooting.

Anyone who was at the Grotto on the evening of August 21, 2021, or who has information about the incident or the suspects is asked to come forward.
