An independent autopsy commissioned by Brown s family and their attorneys said Brown suffered five gunshot wounds four to the right arm and one to the back of his head.

The family of Andrew Brown Jr. will say goodbye to the 42-year-old Monday as they continue to demand answers, 12 days after the Black father and grandfather was fatally shot by North Carolina sheriff’s deputies.
“He was a caring person, and everything he did was for his kids,” Brown’s son, Khalil Ferebee, told CNN last week. “He really loved all of us. It’s just sad that my baby brothers, my baby sisters got to grow up without him now.”
