T.L. Briggs was a 32-year-old Black man from Greenville, Mississippi, known in his community as an entrepreneur, barber, and trucker with a laid-back, chill personality. He enjoyed laughing, working out, and spending time with children, and was described as someone who balanced hard work with easygoing charm.

That life ended in a fatal shooting on the evening of November 29, 2023, in Greenville. Authorities have not publicly released specific details about the circumstances that led to the shooting. Investigators filed charges against an individual in connection with the homicide, but a court later dismissed all charges; the reasons for the dismissal were not disclosed.

The investigation remains open, no other arrests have been announced, and the case is unsolved. Funeral services were handled by Byas Funeral Home of Indianola.
