An unarmed Black man was shot by a Virginia sheriff's deputy while on the phone with a 911 dispatcher, according to authorities and 911 audio released Friday.
An attorney for Isiah Brown, 32, said his client was shot while on the phone with 911 after the deputy -- who had returned to respond to a "domestic incident," per state police -- mistook a phone for a gun. Brown was taken to a local hospital after the shooting early Wednesday with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, according to statements from the Virginia State Police, which said its Bureau of Criminal Investigation's Culpeper Field Office Police Shooting Investigation Team was investigating at the request of the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office.More Related News
