HERTFORD, N.C. Dozens of people paid their last respects to Andrew Brown Junior, this morning.
Eleven days after Pasquotank County sheriff’s deputies shot and killed Brown, Horton’s Funeral Home and Cremations held a public viewing.
“He was like a friend to me, Edenton resident Edwin Newby said as he left the funeral home.
Friends and strangers alike said they came as a show of support for Brown and the loved ones he leaves behind.
Hertford resident Kenyatta Swain said he also knew Brown. Brown s mother attends his church.
“Always pleasant, willing to help anyone. Just a good guy, always for the community, Swain said. “Such a tragedy in the area. And it hurts to be right here at home, really hurts. For me to be African-American, as well - could have been me.

âAfter reviewing the preliminary conclusions of the independent investigators conducting the internal review, and after carefully examining the body camera footage of the incident with my own staff, itâs obvious that four of the deputies never fired their weapons and deserve to be reinstated to active duty, Wooten said. More investigation is necessary into the three deputies who did fire their weapons, and they will remain on administrative leave pending completion of the internal investigation and/or the criminal investigation being conducted by the State Bureau of Investigation.

After hours of anticipation, the family of Andrew Brown, Jr. was shown just twenty seconds of footage from only one police body camera, leaving them infuriated with more questions than answers about his death. It s ridiculous and it s outrageous and so disrespectful to the family, said Rosa Brown, a relative of Andrew Brown. To have waited so long, not only mourning the death of how it happened but to wait this long to get disappointed like that is ridiculous, she told CBN News Monday.
The family had planned to see the video at 11:30 a.m. ET. But an hour before the meeting they were informed of an unexpected delay. Harry Daniels, one of the lawyers for the Brown family, said he received an email at 10:29 a.m. on Monday from Pasquotank County Attorney Michael Cox that redactions were being made to the video.

A North Carolina deputy shot and killed a Black man while serving a search warrant Wednesday, authorities said, spurring an outcry from community members who demanded the immediate release of body camera footage.
Authorities in Elizabeth City didn t provide details of the shooting. But an eyewitness said that Andrew Brown Jr. was shot while trying to drive away, and that deputies fired at him multiple times. The car skidded out of Brown s yard and eventually hit a tree, said Demetria Williams, who lives on the same street.
Williams said after hearing one gunshot, she ran outside, where she saw other shots being fired at the car.
