Loyd Drain III
Age 16
Brooklyn, New York
A gifted cook, athlete, and student
A junior taking five AP classes at Uncommon Collegiate Charter High School, he was the leader of his school’s cooking club, a third baseman on his summer baseball team and a gifted basketball player.
His family was renowned at their Brownsville apartment complex, the Riverdale-Osborne Towers, for their cookouts. “They were good people,” a friend said.
On March 14, 2018, 16-year-old Loyd Drain III was shot and killed in a murder-suicide by Terrance Briggs, his 27-year-old half-brother, in Brooklyn, New York. Also killed were his father, Loyd Drain Jr., and his 1-year-old niece, Layla. His mother, Patricia, found their bodies.
