Brown died of 'kill shot' to head -Crump

Brown was struck with four bullets to his right arm before the fatal shot to his head, the lawyers told a news conference in Elizabeth City, a riverfront community near the Virginia border where the shooting took place last week.

An official autopsy has yet to be released, though the death certificate indicates Brown died of a gunshot wound to the head.

Brown's death led to six nights of protests in Elizabeth City and came one day after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd in a trial that put a spotlight on police violence against Black people.

The Brown family's lawyers have said deputies belonging to the Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office continued firing their weapons after Brown drove his vehicle away from them, calling his death an "execution."

The lawyers have also accused officials of withholding evidence after being shown only 20 seconds of footage from one police body camera on Monday.
