LongfellowSerenade 34
Anthony Ray Briley, born in 1958, is an American criminal most known for his role in the Briley Brothers gang, an infamous group of three brothers that operated in Richmond, Virginia, in the late 1970s. Between 1979 and 1980, the Briley brothers and Duncan Eric Meekins committed a series of violent crimes that included murder, rape, and robbery, killing at least eleven people. Their upbringing was marred by instability and separation, which influenced their eventual criminal activity. The brothers were sentenced to death for their involvement in the killings, but were apprehended and executed by electric chair in 1984 and 1985, respectively. Briley is still serving a life sentence without parole in December 2024, illustrating concerns of youthful delinquency and systemic failings.

Anthony Ray Briley
Background Information
Anthony Ray Briley, born on February 17, 1958, is an American criminal known for his involvement in a series of violent crimes as part of the Briley Brothers gang. He is one of three brothers – Linwood Earl Briley and James Dyral Briley Jr. – who were notorious for their criminal activities in Richmond, Virginia during the late 1970s. The Briley brothers, along with an accomplice named Duncan Eric Meekins, engaged in a spree of murder, rape, and robbery that resulted in the deaths of at least eleven people between 1979 and 1980.
Early Life
The Briley brothers were raised in Richmond’s Highland Park neighborhood by their parents, James Dyral Briley Sr. and Bertha. Their upbringing was marked by instability; their parents eventually separated when the boys were teenagers. This family environment contributed to their later criminal behavior. The brothers had a reputation among neighbors as helpful youths who would assist with chores like car repairs and lawn maintenance. However, they also developed a fascination with exotic pets, which may have reflected a deeper psychological complexity.
Criminal Activities
The first recorded murder committed by Linwood Briley occurred in 1971 when he killed a woman and subsequently served time in a reformatory. In 1979, Anthony and his brothers embarked on a violent crime spree that included multiple murders across Richmond. They were known for their brutality; two potential victims managed to escape unharmed during this period.
The crimes committed by the Briley brothers were characterized by extreme violence and premeditation. Their actions led to widespread fear within the community and garnered significant media attention.

Legal Consequences
In response to their crimes, Linwood and J.B. were sentenced to death for their roles in the killings. In 1984, both escaped from death row along with four other inmates but were recaptured within three weeks. Linwood was executed by electric chair on October 12, 1984, while J.B. followed suit on April 18, 1985.
Anthony Ray Briley remains incarcerated to this day alongside Duncan Meekins. His continued imprisonment reflects both the severity of his crimes and the legal system’s response to such acts of violence.
Current Status
As of December 2024, Anthony Ray Briley is still serving his life sentence without parole for his involvement in these heinous crimes. His case remains a significant example of serial criminal behavior within familial contexts and highlights issues related to juvenile delinquency and systemic failures that can lead to such outcomes.
In summary, Anthony Ray Briley is an American murderer born on February 17, 1958, who was part of the infamous Briley Brothers gang responsible for numerous violent crimes in Richmond during the late 1970s.
