NC sheriff says he'll ask judge to release body-cam video of deputies shooting
The sheriff of a small, quiet county not far from North Carolina's Outer Banks says his office could ask a judge as soon as Monday to release body camera footage of his deputies fatally shooting a Black man last week.
But Pasquotank County Sheriff Wooten also said that he would first check with the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) to ensure that releasing the video would not compromise the probe of the shooting.
"We know people want answers, we know you're angry," Wooten said in a Facebook video. "We ask for your patience and support as we work to do the right thing."
Brown, 42, was fatally shot by deputies serving warrants in Elizabeth City, the county seat and home to less than 18,000 residents, about half of them Black. Few details of he shooting have been released. A first responder can be heard on dispatch audio saying "be advised EMS has one male, 42 years of age, gunshot to the back."
