OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On April 21, 2021, deputies from the Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office shot and killed Andrew Brown Jr., 42, in the 400 block of Perry Street in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Deputies were attempting to serve drug-related warrants when Brown allegedly tried to escape by driving in the direction of officers.
.
Brown was fatally shot, reportedly in the head, as he attempted to flee in his vehicle. The incident prompted protests and widespread public scrutiny. The family and community believe that Brown was trying to escape, and that the deputies violated the use of force policy by shooting at a moving vehicle. Despite the release of body camera footage, which showed Brown driving toward deputies, the family maintains their claim that the shooting was unjustified.
At the time of the shooting, the deputies were reinstated after an investigation, with one officer later retiring. Brown's family reached a $3 million settlement with the Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office but continues to seek full accountability. They are also calling for the release of the full body camera footage and for a federal civil rights investigation to yield results.
