Nathaniel Joseph-Leon Briggs, 36, was shot and killed inside a Roanoke residence on November 23, 2020. Officers answered a call for a gunshot wound about 10:15 p.m. in the 2400 block of Centre Avenue NW; Briggs suffered severe injuries, officers and Roanoke Fire-EMS gave aid, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives said everyone involved remained at the scene and were known to one another. Investigators identified 24-year-old Herbert Giddens Jr. of Roanoke as the suspect. The case was presented to a grand jury in February 2021, which returned indictments; Giddens was arrested without incident on February 2, 2021, and charged with second-degree murder and using a firearm in the commission of a felony. Authorities stated the shooting was not random and there was no ongoing threat.
