Actor Thomas Jefferson Byrd, known for his roles in Spike Lee films, has been shot and killed in Atlanta, police said Sunday.
Police responded to a call around 1:45 a.m. Saturday and found the 70-year-old Byrd unresponsive with multiple gunshot wounds in his back, police spokesman Officer Anthony Grant said in a statement.
Responding paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene on the city’s southwest side, where he lived.
Grant said homicide detectives were working to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting and declined to provide further details.
In an Instagram post Sunday, Lee said he was sad to announce Byrd’s death and recalled how the actor “did his thang” in his films including “Clockers,” “Chi-Raq,” “Bamboozled,” “He Got Game” and “Da Sweet Blood of Jesus,” among others.

11? You’re a madman.
I’m 53 and I’m usually in bed by 9-9:15, the time of this response notwithstanding.
On work days I’m up at 4am and on days off, if I sleep until 6am I consider it sleeping in.
I believe Brother Byrd was a homosexual. Was he meeting up with a much younger Boy toy at 1:45 a.m.?
Enjoyed He Got Game.My fav actor in the movie is Bill Nunn who played Uncle Bubba. Bill and his wife Sat at the same table as as us at a luau in Maui. Next morning we went to mass and they were in same pew. Says a lot about a movie star who attends mass while on vacation. Played Radio do the right thing.
He played a pimp,Sweetness,in He Got Game.

Who’s the black midget on the right?
I’m on the Oz work schedule. Up at noon and go to work at one. Take an hour for lunch and then at two I’m done!
RIP Whoever
A gay thing, a drug thing, a robbery or all three.
Maybe he was shot because he was the getaway driver and did not follow orders to destroy the vehicle afterward?....
Like Stacks Edwards in Goodfellas.
