HOUSTON (AP) — Prosecutors say a man has pleaded guilty in the fatal shooting of an off-duty New Orleans police officer and his friend during a holdup at a Houston restaurant in 2021. Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said Wednesday that Frederick Jackson pleaded guilty to two murder counts in exchange for a 60-year prison sentence. The 22-year-old Jackson pleaded guilty in the killing of New Orleans police Detective Everett Briscoe and Dyrin “DJ” Riculfy. Police say Briscoe and Riculfy were dining on a restaurant patio on Aug. 21, 2021, when two men wearing hoodies approached, tried to rob them and shot them.
