As North Carolina authorities face mounting pressure to release body camera footage of a law enforcement encounter that left a 42-year-old Black man dead, officials released a statement on Thursday claiming state law prohibits them from making the video public without a court order.
Anthony Brown Jr. was unarmed, the family’s attorney said, when he was fatally shot when Pasquotank County sheriff’s deputies fired at him as what authorities say was an arrest warrant was being served at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 21, in Elizabeth City.
His death came the day after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted on charges of second-degree and third-degree murder, as well as second-degree manslaughter.
