The family of Andrew Brown Jr., a North Carolina man who was fatally shot in his car by sheriff’s deputies executing a search warrant last month, will only be provided a portion of the body camera footage recorded at the scene and could have to wait days longer to view it, a judge has ruled.
Attorneys for Brown’s family had expected to see the video as soon as this week after Judge Jeffery Foster ruled from the bench on April 27 that the family would be shown the videos within 10 days. The judge also said he would specify in a written order which portions they could view.
