Family of Andrew Brown Expected to See Bodycam Video of His Killing by North Carolina Police

HeadlineApr 26, 2021

In North Carolina, the family of Andrew Brown Jr., who was shot dead last week by police officers serving an arrest warrant, may finally see the bodycam footage of their loved one’s killing today. At least seven sheriff’s deputies in Elizabeth City have been put on leave, and calls are mounting for the sheriff to step down. Andrew Brown’s son spoke during a press conference with civil rights leaders Saturday.

Khalil Ferebee: “I never expected this to happen so close to home. Like, he left a close and tight family, with each other every day, talking to each other every day. And we, my brothers, my sisters, we is what drove him as a person. We is what made him better. And now I gotta live every day, my newborn without even getting a chance to meet him at all. And that’s going to hurt me every day. I just want justice.”
