ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. - Civil rights attorneys Ben Crump, Bakari Sellers and Harry Daniels have sent a letter to Elizabeth City District Attorney Andrew Womble, requesting that he dismiss himself from the investigation into the killing of Andrew Brown Jr., by deputies.
A judge ordered last week that body camera footage of Andrew Brown Jr. s shooting death while the Pasquotank County Sheriff s Office attempted to serve him with an arrest warrant be disclosed to his family within 10 days.
Seven Pasquotank County sheriffâs deputies were initially put on leave following Brownâs death, but four have been reinstated. Investigator Daniel Meads, Deputy Robert Morgan, and Corporal Aaron Lewellyn are still placed on administrative leave.

The family of Andrew Brown, a North Carolina black man killed by police during the execution of a drug warrant last month, is set to view 18 minutes of body camera footage Tuesday afternoon after relatives were previously granted access to a shorter snippet.
The video will be shown to those close to Brown at around 3 p.m., according to the
Associated Press, which cited county officials. The incident contains more than two hours of relevant footage, though a judge concluded that the bulk of the video did not contain images of the deceased, and thus are not appropriate for disclosure at this time.
