Andrew Brown Jr. Was Shot In The Back Of His Head, Family Says, Citing Autopsy

Andrew Brown Jr. died from a fatal gunshot to the back of head, his family and family attorneys said Tuesday, citing the results of an independent autopsy. The finding bolsters their claim that Brown was “executed,” the relatives said.

“It was a kill shot to the back of the head” that cost Brown his life, family attorney Ben Crump said Tuesday as his office released the results.

Brown’s family commissioned the autopsy after Pasquotank County, N.C., sheriff’s deputies shot and killed Brown, a 42-year-old Black man, last Wednesday while carrying out search and arrest warrants at his home in Elizabeth City.
