ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. - Civil rights attorneys Ben Crump, Bakari Sellers and Harry Daniels have sent a letter to Elizabeth City District Attorney Andrew Womble, requesting that he dismiss himself from the investigation into the killing of Andrew Brown Jr., by deputies.
A judge ordered last week that body camera footage of Andrew Brown Jr. s shooting death while the Pasquotank County Sheriff s Office attempted to serve him with an arrest warrant be disclosed to his family within 10 days.
Seven Pasquotank County sheriffâs deputies were initially put on leave following Brownâs death, but four have been reinstated. Investigator Daniel Meads, Deputy Robert Morgan, and Corporal Aaron Lewellyn are still placed on administrative leave.
Family of Andrew Brown Jr. to view body camera footage of his fatal shooting
The immediate family of Andrew Brown Jr. will have the chance Tuesday to view police body camera video of Brown’s death, following a judge’s order that authorized the viewing.
Brown was fatally shot April 21 when Pasquotank County deputies in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, were trying to execute a warrant.
Protesters and family members have called for the release of body camera footage to determine what led to the shooting that came amid national conversations over policing and racial bias.
According to state law, the sheriff’s office cannot release the video without a judge’s consent. A judge ruled last month that the family would be allowed to watch the videos, but that the body camera footage could not be made public for 30 days.
