ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. (WTVD) -- Powerful demands were made during a Saturday afternoon news conference from notable North Carolina civil rights leaders that stood flanked with the family of Andrew Brown Jr.. a Black man who was and killed by deputies in Elizabeth City.

Barely an hour after the press conference, Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office released a joint statement from Sheriff Tommy Wooten, II and Chef Deputy Daniel Fogg promising the release of the bodycam footage hopefully by Monday -- should the legal system move accordingly.

"Some people have falsely claimed that my office has the power to [release footage], that is not true, only a judge can release the video," Wooten said. "Our county will file a motion in court Monday to have footage released."

Fogg also announced that he will be in contact with the North Carolina Sheriff's Association to help in conducting an outside internal investigation.

They are not capable of conducting an outside investigation. The Association should have no role in that.
