Pasquotank County in North Carolina agreed to a $3 million settlement with the family of Andrew Brown Jr., a Black man whom deputies shot and killed on April 21, 2021, as he drove away from his home during a raid. The deputies fired several shots, one of which struck Brown in the back of his head and killed him. His family commissioned an independent autopsy that said police shot Brown five times, including the fatal shot to the back of his head. Brown’s family filed a $30 million civil rights lawsuit in 2021, asserting that the deputies displayed “intentional and reckless disregard” for Brown’s life. In May 2021, the county district attorney deemed the shooting “justified” and declined to prosecute the officers involved. |
