A day after the fatal shooting of a Black man by a sheriff’s deputy serving a warrant in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, few details have been released by authorities, but a crisis intervention consultant was hired Thursday by county officials looking to prepare for any fallout.
Andrew Brown Jr. was "fatally wounded" as Pasquotank County sheriff’s deputies executed a search warrant in the 400 block of Perry Street in Elizabeth City around 8:30 a.m., Wooten said at a press conference Wednesday afternoon. The North Carolina Bureau of Investigation, an outside agency, was "immediately contacted" and is conducting the investigation into the matter, the sheriff added. The sheriff confirmed that it was a Pasquotank County deputy involved in the shooting and that the individual has been placed on administrative leave. He also confirmed there is body-camera footage of the fatal shooting. There we no other injuries, he said.More Related News
