A North Carolina sheriff has identified the seven deputies who were on the scene of last week’s fatal shooting of Andrew Brown Jr. and subsequently placed on administrative leave – four of whom have been cleared to return to duty.
Deputies shot and killed Brown, a 42-year-old Black man, while carrying out search and arrest warrants at his home on Wednesday in Elizabeth City, N.C. The Pasquotank County Sheriff’s Office said that Sheriff Tommy Wooten was releasing the names of the deputies on the scene as part of his promise of transparency and accountability.
This is a movement, she added.
At Thursday s protest, about 30 people sat on bricks in a circle around each other at the 1898 Memorial, most wearing masks, telling stories and showing support for each other. Let s stop this madness in the world. I feel like people are listening, said Kenyah Hewitt.
Some discussions surrounded Brown s case and others like it. One man said it seems in cases like Brown s, Black men and women don t automatically get their personal story told about who they were as a person, because everyone is so focused on the way they died and whether it was justified or not.
