HOUSTON — Police are still searching for the two gunmen who are accused of killing NOPD Det. Everett Briscoe and injuring another Zulu member while they were in Houston.
Dyrin "DJ" Riculfy is still fighting for his life inside Ben Taub Hospital in Houston.
Friends and family of Riculfy said Monday he is still in critical condition in the ICU.
"Man, it's crazy. He didn't deserve it. Neither one of them. Beautiful people, man. It's crazy," Kelvin Harry said.
Harry is one of 15 members of the Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club who took a bus trip to Houston over the weekend with Riculfy and Detective Briscoe
"Them dudes didn't deserve that. Them dudes would have given them anything they wanted. They shoot them dudes at 4 o'clock in the evening, man that ain't right, man. That ain't right," Harry said. "I don't care what the situation was. That ain't right."
According to Houston police, Briscoe and Riculfy were shot by two gunmen Saturday evening while sitting on a restaurant patio. The suspect's tried to rob patrons and everyone complied, according to police. The men shot anyway, severely injuring Riculfy and killing Briscoe, a beloved 13-year veteran with NOPD.
"It's just tragic it really is, especially to find out it's a brother in law enforcement here on vacation," Houston Police Officers Union President Douglas Griffith said.
Griffith feels confident Houston police will find the men responsible.
"Our guys are going to go all out and do everything they can to find who did this," he said.
Houston police are hoping photos of the suspects and their car will help catch them. There is a $10,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.
"Somebody knows something. There's a good picture of the vehicle, a blurry picture of the suspects, but you match those two up, somebody will know, somebody will snitch and they're going to jail," Griffith said.
"I just ask them dudes to turn themselves in, man. Give Everett and DJ's wife some closure. Two good dudes, man. They would have given you the shirt off their back," Harry said.
The Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club said that they are devastated by the "senseless gun violence" that killed Briscoe and has Riculfy fighting for his life.
"The Briscoe and Riculfy families and the Zulu Organization appreciate all efforts and support during this tragedy," a statement from Zulu leadership said. "Our circle has been shattered, but we will not be broken."
