WASHINGTON: The family of an unarmed black man who was shot fatally by the Sheriff’s deputies in North Carolina said he died of the neglect of officers “intentional and reckless,” according to USD 30 million civil law lawsuits submitting Wednesday.
Andrew Brown JR was killed on April 21 by the Deputy Pasquotank County Sheriff when they served a drug associated warrant at the Elizabeth City house.
The deputies were surrounded by Brown in his BMW before his car backed and moved forward.
They fired a few shots into his vehicle.
He was killed by a bullet behind his head.
“All individual defendants do it with surprising and intentional indifference to Brown’s rights and with conscious awareness that it can cause severe body trends or death of the body,” according to the lawsuit submitted in the Federal Court in North Carolina.
Archiving is the latest in a series of federal civil law demands after shooting black and brown police.
Many ended in frequent settlements including money but determined no acceptance of guilt.
Some end in court where the jury can present a massive settlement trimmed in the appeal.
The George Flloyd family, who was killed in police custody Minneapolis last year, approved a completion of USD 27 million in March.
In September, the city of Louisville, Kentucky, agreed to pay the Breonna Taylor family of USD 12 million and police practice reform.
The lawsuit in North Carolina was submitted by Bibi Father Brown, Lillie Brown Clark, who is an administrator for his land.
The lawsuit said the 42-year-old child was the father of seven children.
The Defendant included Pasquotank County Sheriff Tommy Wooten II and several deputies.
Wooten office does not immediately respond to emails that are looking for comments.
Lawyers for the Brown family have repeatedly said that he tried to go and did not pose a threat to the deputies that approached his vehicle.
Authorities said he used his car as a “deadly weapon” and caused the deputies to believe it needed to use deadly strength.
Andrew Wombble District lawyer cleaned the deputies in May.
He said they were justified as his representative of the car and almost dropped him while ignoring the command to show his hand and get out of the vehicle.
The federal lawsuit was the latest fall from the shooting, which had sent shock waves through a small town in Northeastern North Carolina.
Residents have routinely gathered in protests.
One of the deputies who fired his gun in Brown’s car had resigned.
The FBI also launched an investigation of civil rights on death.
The shooting has also attracted the supervision of outside law enforcement observers who said that police officers should not shoot vehicles when there were no deadly threats other than the car.
