Speakers at a funeral service for Andrew Brown Jr., a 42-year-old Black man killed by police, called on the sheriff to release the bodycam video of the incident. Seven deputies arrived at Brown s home to serve a warrant as part of a drug investigation before fatally shooting him. We know that it was a reckless, unjustifiable shooting, said Ben Crump, an attorney who represents Brown s family, during the service Monday at Fountain of Life Church in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The video is going to have to come out, because as we stand in the house of God, we know a lie cannot live forever.
