Based on reports, Andre Braugher of Brooklyn Nine-Nine has passed away at age 61.

He died of a brief illness on Monday, as confirmed by his publicist. 

He was famously known for his role as Captain Raymond Holt on the police procedural comedy series Brooklyn Nine-Nine from 2013 till 2021. 

His stoic, no-nonsense but cares-a-lot character was a fan favourite together with lead detective Jacob Peralta (Andy Samberg).

From countless other roles and awards, he is now survived by his wife Ami Brabson (who also guest on Homicide: Life on the Street) and his three children.

May his soul rest in peace.
