Watch Live: District attorney holds news conference on investigation into Andrew Brown Jr. shooting
CBSN
The district attorney who will decide whether to file criminal charges in the fatal shooting of a Black man by North Carolina deputies will discuss on Tuesday the findings of the state's investigation into what happened. District Attorney Andrew Womble scheduled a news conference for 11 a.m. to talk about what the State Bureau of Investigation found in its probe of the death of Andrew Brown Jr.
Womble didn't respond to an email from The Associated Press on Monday asking if he would announce a decision about filing criminal charges against the deputies. Womble has resisted calls from the state's Democratic governor and Brown's family to let an independent prosecutor take over. Under state law, Womble would have to agree to step aside.More Related News
