“We did not see any actions on Mr. Brown’s part where he made contact with them or tried to go in their direction, Lynch told reporters. In fact, he did just the opposite. While there was a group of law enforcement that were in front of him, he went the opposite direction.”
Lynch, who described the shooting as “unconstitutional” and “unjustified,” said body camera footage of the shooting s aftermath shows that deputies found no weapons on Brown.
“My father did not deserve to die at all, his son Jha rod Ferebee told reporters after watching the footage. He did not deserve to get killed in any way, shape or form. He did not pose any threat at all.”

Andrew Brown Jr. family watch more body cam footage of deputy-involved shooting
Attorneys for Andrew Brown Jr. s family held a news conference Tuesday in Elizabeth City, N.C. after relatives watched body cam footage of the deadly deputy-involved shooting last month.
ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. (AP) - Lawyers for relatives of Andrew Brown Jr., a Black man fatally shot by deputies, said Tuesday that body camera videos show that he didn’t strike them with his car before they opened fire, contradicting a local prosecutor.
Chance Lynch, a lawyer who viewed the footage in private with Brown s family, said Brown was sitting in his stationary car with his hands on the wheel when the first of numerous shots was fired. Family members had previously seen about 20 seconds of the video but were shown approximately 18 minutes on Tuesday under a judge’s order.
