Three deputies involved in the shooting Won’t face charges from county officials following prosecutorial probe

Pasquotank County District Attorney Andrew Womble declared on Tuesday he’s deemed as”warranted” the shooting of Andrew Brown Jr, a Black guy murdered on April 21 by sheriff’s deputies trying to serve arrest and search warrants, and no fees will be submitted.

Brown, 42, was shot through the afternoon raid at his house in Elizabeth City, a riverfront community where only half of the approximately 18,000 inhabitants are Black.

“Mr Brown’s departure was warranted,” Womble told reporters at a news briefing where he showed images taken in the body-worn cameras of those officers in the scene. Brown was in his automobile since deputies tried to detain him.

As it turned off, the car swerved and came near touching among those deputies at low rate, then sailed off. After the shots were fired, Brown’s automobile seems to have become something, causing it to cease using a crunching sound.
“The deputies in this situation sensed a danger, and instantly fire their weapon to neutralise the threat”, Womble said. “[D]eadly pressure might be used when it seems to be reasonably required to protect against fatal force.”

Womble further mentioned Brown’s criminal background, stating he had been understood to officers as with arrests and convictions dating back to 1995, such as assault with a deadly weapon.

The sheriff’s office said Morgan is Dark, while Meads and Lewellyn are whitened.

The killing under uncertain circumstances has caught national attention. It happened a day after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd at an extremely publicised trial.

Chauvin’s certainty has generated hope for reform one of anti-police brutality activists. Chauvin’s attorney has requested for a new trial, citing prosecutorial misconduct, among other factors.
