Family of Man Killed by Sheriff’s Deputies in N. Carolina Will See Video

The decision to show the family video from the deputies’ body cameras came amid growing appeals to release footage of the fatal shooting of Andrew Brown Jr.

The family of a Black man killed by sheriff’s deputies in Elizabeth City, N.C., last week will be shown video from the deputies’ body cameras on Monday before it is released to the public in response to mounting pressure from protesters and public officials. The family will hold a news conference after viewing of the video, which is expected to take place at 11:30 a.m. The footage could answer some of the questions the family has about the moments before Andrew Brown Jr. was killed last Wednesday while the authorities were executing a search warrant. The decision to show family members the video came amid growing appeals to release footage of the fatal shooting, including calls from the county sheriff and the state’s governor.
