An angry mob of about 100 BLM protesters gathered in front of the City Council on Wednesday evening after a sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a 40-year-old black man earlier in the day.
40-year-old Andrew Brown was shot and killed by a sheriff’s deputy on Wednesday in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.
According to reports, deputies were serving a search warrant Wednesday morning in the 400 block of Perry Street, off Roanoke Avenue.
Andrew Brown got into his car and began to drive away when deputies opened fire.
Witnesses said they heard between 6 to 8 gunshots.
The family insists Brown, who was a father to 10 children, was unarmed, however the investigation is still ongoing.
The details of this officer-involved shooting are still unknown, but the BLM mob is riled up and demanding the police officer pay.
