ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. - North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper and North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein visited Mount Lebanon A.M.E Zion Church in Elizabeth City, just 68 days after Andrew Brown Jr. was shot killed by Pasquotank sheriff deputies.
"Iâm so grateful for this strong community. I think it's important that we meet in the house of God to talk about the word justice," Governor Roy Cooper said during a Sunday church service.
Governor Cooper went on to say, "In this community, the unnecessary killing of Andrew Brown Jr. Iâve heard descriptions of fear about traffic stops about not being able to see all the video that should be available from the incident that occurred that day and about not getting justice in the case of Andrew Brown Jr."
