Joseph Pierre Brice, a 44-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on February 29, 2020, in Longview, Texas. Family members described him as someone who helped others, and his sister said she had warned him about the risks of assisting people but that his altruism continued.

Investigators have linked Brice’s death to a 2016 homicide, suggesting the shooting was not an isolated event. A suspect from New Orleans was arrested in connection with Brice’s killing and is scheduled to be arraigned October 9 in the 188th District Court. No identity for that suspect has been disclosed.

What information do readers have about Brice, his activities in Longview, or connections to the 2016 homicide that could help clarify the sequence of events?
