‘Set It Off,’ ‘Clockers’ Star Thomas Jefferson Byrd Fatally Shot In Atlanta, Spike Lee & Viola Davis React To The Tragedy

In very tragic news, actor Thomas Jefferson Byrd – who starred in Set It Off and tons of Spike Lee films – was reportedly murdered in Atlanta over the weekend. Spike Lee, Viola Davis and more took to social media to pay tribute to the famed actor. More inside…

2020 isn’t letting up.

Famed actor Thomas Jefferson Byrd – known for starring in several Spike Lee films – was reportedly shot and killed in Atlanta over the weekend. He was 70.

According to police spokesman Officer Anthony Grant, police responded to a call around 1:45AM Saturday and found the Set It Off actor unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds in his back. He was pronounced dead at the scene on the city’s southwest side, where he resided.

Homicide detectives are currently investigating the shooting to determine what happened and declined to provide further details.

After learning of his murder, Oscar winning director Spike Lee hopped on social media to pay tribute to his longtime collaborator. Thomas starred in tons of Spike Lee films, including, Clockers, Chi-Raq, Bamboozled, He Got Game and more.

He was also nominated for a Tony Award in 2003 for his performance in the Broadway revival of "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom," co-starring Whoopi Goldberg and Charles S. Dutton.

A Fall From Grace actress Crystal Fox paid tribute to Thomas, including a statement from the Byrd family:

                  These loses are becoming unbearable! But no more for me than the family of this artistic giant of a friend (whom I’ve worked with & known since I was a teenager) I/we loved & have now lost!! First I promised to share this from The Byrd family: ‘Thomas is no longer on this earth plane. The kids and I are still reeling and trying to process. Please respect our privacy as we work thru this very difficult time.’ As for me I know I’m not alone in this thing as I am ‘fighting’ to protect my heart & keep my emotions from driving me crazy but only God can do that when the list of sorrows continues to grow!! Let me be extremely clear, the Lord has been gracious & merciful to me ALL of my life & He continues to bless me everyday & with every breath in my body but at THIS moment THIS human being is HEARTBROKEN .........I LOVE YOU T. BYRD!!! More than a hashtag

Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis reacted to news of the YBF actor’s murder.

Oh no!!! 2020! Whaaattt!!! Loved working with you Byrd. What a fine actor you were. So sorry your life ended this way. Praying for your family. So very sorry. https://t.co/R9YxP4gNW4

"Oh no!!! 2020! Whaaattt!!!,” she tweeted. “Loved working with you Byrd. What a fine actor you were. So sorry your life ended this way. Praying for your family.”

  "Queen Sugar" star Omar Dorsey shared how TJB inspired his acting career:

                  The jewels T Byrd dropped on me as a teenager and a young adult are a part of my DNA. I wanted to be an actor because of him. Watching him control a stage, marveling. Rest in paradise Thomas Jefferson Byrd.

    "OITNB" actress Lori Petty also shared a tweet about the talented actor:

Nasser Metcalfe – a friend of Thomas’ – also memorialized his friend:

                  I am beyond devastated. I just learned that my dear brother Thomas Jefferson Byrd’s life was senselessly taken in Atlanta over the weekend. I cannot make any sense of this. He was the kindest, most generous spirited person you could ever know. So full of life and energy and could always make you laugh. Who would want to do this to him??? May you rest in heavenly glory my brother. Thank you for all the beautiful memories over the many years of our friendship. You lit up the stage, you lit up the screen and you lit up the world. I will miss you terribly. I LOVE YOU!! #ThomasJeffersonByrd

A brilliant life taken away. Such a tragedy.

We send our condolences to his family, friends and fans! May he Rest in Power!
