Attorneys for the family of Andrew Brown Jr., at an emotional Tuesday news conference in Elizabeth City, said a private autopsy showed that he died when Pasquotank County sheriff’s deputies fired a “kill shot to the back of the head.”

Brown, 42, was killed in his car outside his home in Elizabeth City last Wednesday as deputies were serving search and arrest warrants related to felony drug charges.

After hearing the autopsy results, Brown’s son Khalil Ferebee discouraged violence Tuesday as he addressed the crowd of about 100 people that stood outside the public safety building downtown.

“To my pops … yesterday, I said he was executed,” Ferebee said. “This autopsy report showed me that was correct.”

The autopsy also showed an additional four gunshot wounds to Brown’s arm.

“That wasn’t enough?” Ferebee said. “They’re going to shoot him in the back of the head? ... That’s not right at all.

“Man, stuff gotta change. It’s really gotta change for real.”
