Independent Autopsy of Andrew Brown Says He Was Shot In The Back Of The Head
An independent autopsy of Andrew Brown, who was fatally shot by police in N.C., says he was shot once in the back of the head.

An independent autopsy of Andrew Brown says he was shot once in the back of the head, the family said during a news conference.
Independent autopsy
The family hired a forensic pathologist, Dr. Brent Hall, for Andrew Brown’s independent autopsy.
Hall found that Brown was shot four times in the right arm and once squarely in the back of his head.
The shot to the head was fired from “intermediate” range and penetrated Brown’s skull and brain, according to Hall.
The bullet wound had a trajectory of “bottom to top, left to right and back to front,” Hall’s report said.
Hall’s report confirmed the findings of a state death certificate that stated Brown was shot five times: once in his head, once in his right shoulder, twice in his upper right arm and once around his right elbow.
It said Brown’s immediate cause of death was “Penetrating gunshot wound of the head.”
Andrew Brown’s wounds
An attorney for the family, Wayne Kendall, said at a news conference, “This, in fact, was a fatal wound to the back of Mr. Brown’s head as he was leaving the site trying to evade being shot at by these particular law enforcement officers that we believe did nothing but a straight-up execution.”
Khalil Ferebee, Brown’s son, said the findings showed that his father posed no threat to deputies, making deadly force unnecessary.
“Those gunshots to the arm, that weren’t enough? That weren’t enough?” he said. “It’s obvious he was trying to get away. It’s obvious, and they’re going to shoot him in the back of the head? That s— not right. That’s not right at all, man.”
Brown’s family and attorneys said Monday that they were allowed to see just 20 seconds of body-camera video of the deadly encounter which was partially blurred.
They said the video showed that he was not a threat to arresting deputies.
