   Seven deputies at the scene, who have yet to be named, have since been placed on administrative leave. On Friday, three other deputies resigned. Harry Daniels, an attorney for the victim’s family, told The Washington Post that Brown — whose death triggered peaceful demonstrations of hundreds over two nights — was unarmed at the time of shooting.

   Pasquotank County Sheriff Tommy Wooten said in a video statement that the deputy fired at Brown when he started to flee as authorities tried to serve him a search warrant and an arrest warrant on felony drug charges. Those who watched the encounter told local media that Brown got into his car and started to drive away from law enforcement. The sheriff’s deputies started shooting at Brown, firing off six to eight shots.

   According to state law, North Carolina authorities are required to release body-cam footage only if there’s a court order. Daniels said that a motion would be filed Friday for the release of the video.
