'Show the tape': Family calls for video of fatal NC shooting

"They said they want to make redactions to it. Redactions should not be made to show it to the son of Mr. Brown. Open the door, it is time for transparency and accountability to take place today," Daniels said at a news conference on Monday, which was also attended by civil rights lawyer Benjamin Crump.

The shooting last Wednesday, a day after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted for the murder of George Floyd after a highly publicized trial, triggered small, peaceful protests in the eastern, riverfront community of about 18,000 residents, half of whom are African American.

Law enforcement officials have said that Brown, 42, a convicted felon who has resisted arrest before, was shot as deputies were trying to serve an arrest warrant and search warrant stemming from a felony drug charge.

The unidentified deputy who opened fire on Brown has been placed on administrative leave, Pasquotank County Sheriff Tommy Wooten said last week.

Wooten said he would seek the release of body-worn camera video of the incident as early as Monday and he added that he would ask the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation to confirm that releasing the video would not undermine its investigation into the deadly shooting of Andrew Brown Jr. in Elizabeth City.
