FBI opens civil rights probe into killing of Andrew Brown Jr. in North Carolina
CNBC 1 hr ago Tucker Higgins
The FBI confirmed Tuesday that it will investigate the killing of Andrew Brown Jr., a Black man who died after police shot him during an arrest in North Carolina last week.
The announcement comes a day after attorneys for Brown s family, allowed to watch a 20-second video of his arrest, said the 42-year-old was shot in the back of the head while he had his hands on his steering wheel.
Brown was killed Wednesday, one day after a jury found Derek Chauvin guilty of the murder of George Floyd, whose death in custody reinvigorated the movement opposing police brutality against Black people.
(CNN) - The FBI s Charlotte field office confirmed they have opened a federal civil rights investigation into last week s police shooting of Andrew Brown Jr., according to an FBI spokesperson. Agents will work closely with the US Attorney s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina and the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice to determine whether federal laws were violated. As this is an ongoing investigation, we cannot comment further, the statement says.
Brown, a 42-year-old Black man in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, was fatally shot in the back of the head while he tried to drive away from Pasquotank County sheriff s deputies, who had already shot him four times in the right arm, family attorney Wayne Kendall said Tuesday, citing a private autopsy of Brown s body.
