                   HONORING DETECTIVE EVERETT BRISCOE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. TROY A. CARTER

                              of louisiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, August 27, 2021

  Mr. CARTER of Louisiana. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember 
Detective Everett Briscoe, a veteran of the New Orleans Police 
Department who was tragically shot and killed while off-duty in Houston 
this weekend.
  Officer Briscoe served the New Orleans community for over 12 years, 
which included work for the department's homicide investigations 
division.
  He was a father of two children and a friend to many. I'm lucky to 
have befriended him through our shared membership of the Zulu Social 
Aid & Pleasure Club, a Mardi Gras organization.
  I was lucky to call him my Zulu brother.
  Praying for his family, his friends, and the other victim in this 
senseless act of violence.
  Sometimes life, in all its beauty, is inexplicably tragic.
  But we will always have the memories we have shared together.
  Rest in Peace, Detective Briscoe.
