Two suspects have been taken into custody in the robbery-homicide at a Houston restaurant last weekend that killed an off-duty detective of the New Orleans Police Department and critically injured his friend, authorities announced Friday afternoon.


Briscoe, 41, and his friends were part of the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club, a philanthropic group that puts on a Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans. Several members were in Houston for the weekend to visit other Zulu members, Law Officer reported.

They had just arrived in town when a few of them dropped off their bags at a hotel and walked across the street to Grotto to smoke cigars and have a few drinks, according to KHOU 13.

Within minutes, a gunman shot two of them during a robbery. Briscoe, a 13-year veteran of the New Orleans Police Department, was killed even after everyone complied with the armed bandits.
