Who is Andrew Brown Jr., the man involved in officer-involved shooting?

Authorities in North Carolina are bracing for possible protests and unrest over the fatally shooting of Andrew Brown Jr., by sheriff's deputies last week. 

Brown's death comes amid a series of fatally police shootings involving Black victims, reigniting protests that were sparked after George Floyd's death last year. Pasquotank County Sheriff Tommy Wooten II said that multiple deputies fired shots. Seven deputies are on leave pending a probe by the State Bureau of Investigation. During a news conference in which Brown's family was present, their attorneys blasted local officials over the bodycam footage. Brown’s son, Khalil Ferebee, called the shooting an execution.   "My dad got executed just by trying to save his own life," Ferebee said. "He got executed. It ain’t right."
