Man shot by law enforcement in North Carolina
A North Carolina man was shot and killed on Wednesday morning by a deputy in Elizabeth City, according to the Pasquotank County Sheriff’s Office.
The workplace said representatives executed the court order at 8:30 a.m. on April 21, in the 400 square of Perry Street, Elizabeth City, NC. They said while this pursuit was being directed, the individual who was the subject of the warrant was lethally shot by a representative.
Since this was a law enforcement involved shooting, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation has been contacted and is asked to investigate this incident, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The man, whose relatives recognized him as 40-year-old Andrew Brown, got into his vehicle and begun to drive away, witnesses say. That is when shots were discharged by the agent. Neighbors say they heard somewhere in the range of 6 to 8 shots.
His family says Brown did not carry a gun and didn’t hurt anyone. He was the father of 10 children.
