CASE №00062
NAME: Isaiah Brown
COUNTRY: USA
RIGHTS VIOLATION: Police arbitrariness
YEAR: 2021
CASE INFORMATION:

Isaiah Brown, 32, was shot by a deputy in Spotsylvania, Virginia.

He was shot on April 21, 2021, by a sheriff’s deputy who had given him a lift home after his car broke down. Not long after the deputy left, Isaiah Brown called 911. The sheriff’s office categorized the call as a domestic situation between Isaiah Brown and a family member.

The same deputy who helped Isaiah Brown earlier returned. Within minutes, he opened fire. Brown was shot at least 10 times. Police say the officer mistook a phone for a gun. In the body camera footage, the deputy is heard telling Brown to drop a gun and stop walking towards him.

Brown was taken to a local hospital after the shooting with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, according to statements from the Police. An attorney for Brown’s family said he will formally ask for the full audio of the call between the deputy and the dispatcher who was on the phone with Brown.

MASS MEDIA ABOUT THE CASE:

“After viewing the Spotsylvania County Sheriff’s deputy’s bodycam video and listening to the 911 call, it is evident that the tragic shooting of Isiah Brown was completely avoidable,” David Haynes, an attorney for Brown’s family, said in a statement.

“I believe that the sheriff was reporting to the fact that he performed CPR, as of course he is required and trained to do. But it is incredible that he would make that statement that he saved his life by rendering CPR after he’s the one that shot him 10 times,” Haynes said.
