Bodycam footage shows ‘execution’ of Andrew Brown Jr: Lawyers

North Carolina city braces for unrest after family members view snippet of footage that lawyers claim shows Brown’s ‘execution’.

Lawyers for the family of Andrew Brown Jr, a Black man shot by sheriff’s deputies in North Carolina during an attempted arrest last week, said body camera footage showed Brown had been “executed” and accused officials of withholding evidence after seeing a “snippet” of the footage. Lawyers said the 42-year-old Brown had his hands on the steering wheel of his car when multiple deputies began firing at him in his driveway in Elizabeth City, a riverfront community near the Virginia border. The deputies continued to shoot after Brown drove his vehicle away from them, according to lawyer Chantel Cherry-Lassiter, who said Brown never presented a threat to the team of seven or eight officers at the scene.
