NPR A week after the shooting death of Andrew Brown Jr., protesters continue to march in the streets of Elizabeth City, shouting, “Release the tape - the WHOLE tape!”
This week began with all eyes locked on North Carolina as the fatal shooting of Andrew Brown Jr. by Pasquotank County deputies became the latest flash point in a seemingly endless stream of news and outrage over the deaths of Black Americans at the hands of police.
A lawyer for the family, who viewed a 20-second snippet of body camera video on Monday, called the fatal shooting during an arrest an execution. An independent autopsy showed Brown was shot five times, including in the back of the head, and the FBI began a civil rights probe into the case. The local prosecutor said deputies were hit by the car Brown was driving as the shooting unfolded, and a Superior Court judge denied requests to immediately release body camera footage to the public, saying he thought it could hinder the investigation.

Duke Energy says it expects to triple the amount of renewable energy it produces by 2030. That s among the goals in the Charlotte-based company s annual sustainability report out Wednesday.
About 7% of the energy produced at Duke-owned power plants currently comes from solar, wind and hydroelectric power, according to the report. That could grow to 23% by the end of this decade as Duke continues to add capacity.
