PASQUOTANK COUNTY, N.C. â A judge ruled Friday that additional body camera footage that shows the fatal police shooting death of Andrew Brown Jr. should be released to Brown s family.
Brown was shot and killed on April 21 when the Pasquotank County Sheriff s Office attempted to serve him with an arrest warrant.
Court documents state that five videos will be disclosed to Brown s son Khalil Ferebee and his immediate family members, as well as an attorney. One of the videos will be released in its entirety, while the other four will only show portions of the footage. Court documents say that the redacted footage contained no images of Brown.
Making police body camera footage accessible to the public will bolster transparency and could help foster goodwill toward law enforcement in the communities they serve.
