The latest police killing of a Black man has been described as an “execution” by members of the victim’s family and the attorneys representing them.
According to
USA Today, the attorneys and family of police killing victim, Andrew Brown Jr., have labeled his death in North Carolina as an “execution.’’ The family spoke at a press conference Monday after they were allowed to see just 20 seconds of police bodycam video of the incident that resulted in Brown’s death at the hands of law enforcement.
Sheriff’s deputies shot and killed 42-year-old Brown while executing a search and arrest warrant at his place of residence last Wednesday in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.
Lawyers say Black man killed by North Carolina police hit with kill shot to back of head
Brown s death led to six nights of protests in Elizabeth City and came one day after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd in a trial that put a spotlight on police violence against Black people.
