PASQUOTANK COUNTY, N.C.: "The Pasquotank County District Attorney released the results of a state investigation into the death of Andrew Brown Jr., calling the deputy shooting justified.
“While tragic, the shooting of Mr. Brown was justified due to his actions," District Attorney Andrew Womble said. He went on to say that Brown’s actions “caused three deputies to reasonably believe it was necessary to use deadly force to protect themselves and others.”
Brown was shot and killed by Pasquotank County sheriff's deputies on April 21 after law enforcement officials tried to execute a search warrant at a home in Elizabeth City. Investigators planned to take him into custody after gathering evidence and confirming that he sold drugs in Dare County."
