Maureno Briggs, 31, died on March 11, 2022, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His death is described as violent and tied to gang-related activity; he was associated with the Buffum Meinecke Boys, a violent gang-related drug trafficking organization in Milwaukee. The FBI had previously sought public assistance in locating Briggs in connection with gang-related activities in the city.

Local and federal agencies worked together after Briggs’ death to gather evidence and identify suspects as part of an effort to dismantle the gang.
