(CNN) - The FBI s Charlotte field office confirmed they have opened a federal civil rights investigation into last week s police shooting of Andrew Brown Jr., according to an FBI spokesperson. Agents will work closely with the US Attorney s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina and the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice to determine whether federal laws were violated. As this is an ongoing investigation, we cannot comment further, the statement says.
Brown, a 42-year-old Black man in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, was fatally shot in the back of the head while he tried to drive away from Pasquotank County sheriff s deputies, who had already shot him four times in the right arm, family attorney Wayne Kendall said Tuesday, citing a private autopsy of Brown s body.
