Activists say they re left with more questions than answers after the Spotsylvania County Sheriff released some of the body-worn camera footage and a 911 call from when a deputy shot 32-year-old Isaiah Brown.
The incident began early Wednesday morning in the 12200 block of Catharpin Road at approximately 3:18 a.m. when authorities were called to a residence for reports of a domestic disturbance, according to the Spotsylvania Sheriff s Office.
The footage shows the deputy exiting his vehicle and shouting for Brown to drop the gun as soon as he gets out of the car. Then, multiple shots can be heard.

SPOTSYLVANIA COURTHOUSE, Va. (AP) A Virginia deputy shot and wounded a man after responding to a 911 call about a domestic disturbance early Wednesday morning, authorities said.
Sgt. Brent Coffey, a Virginia State Police spokesman, wrote in an email that the deputy arrived on the scene in Spotsylvania County and encountered Isaiah L. Brown, 32, as Brown was walking in the roadway away from his residence.
“The sheriff’s deputy attempted to verbally engage Brown and it was during this encounter that the deputy discharged his service weapon. Brown was shot and the deputy immediately rendered medical aid,” Coffey wrote.
Coffey did not provide additional information about what prompted the shooting or say whether Brown was armed at the time. He did not provide Brown’s race or the identity of the officer involved. It wasn’t immediately clear if there was video of the incident.
