The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced on Tuesday that it has opened a civil rights investigation into the police-involved shooting death of Andrew Brown Jr, a Black man, in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

Earlier on Tuesday, attorneys of Brown’s family released an independent autopsy report which showed that Brown was shot five times, including a shot in the back of his head. Calls are growing for the police to release the full bodycam footage, a 20-second clip of which was supplied to the family.
