Lawyers for Andrew Brown's family say authorities only showed them 20 seconds of body camera footage of the fatal police shooting

• Lawyers for the family of Andrew Brown Jr. viewed body camera footage of his death on Monday.
• They said that officials only allowed them to watch 20 seconds of the footage.
• Brown was fatally shot by a Pasquotank County Sheriff's deputy in North Carolina last week.

Lawyers for the family of Andrew Brown Jr., who was fatally shot by a sheriff's deputy in North Carolina last week, say law enforcement officers only showed them 20 seconds of body camera footage from the incident.

The group of lawyers, which include civil rights attorney Ben Crump, held a press conference in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, on Monday after viewing the footage from the Pasquotank County Sheriff's Office.

"We don't feel that we got transparency," Crump said at the press conference. "We only saw a snippet of the video."

Viewing of the footage was delayed on Monday after officials said they were blurring faces to to "protect an active internal investigation" into the shooting.

Brown was fatally shot by a Pasquotank County Sheriff's deputy who was attempting to arrest Brown on felony drug charges last week.

The sheriff's office said Brown was fleeing police at the time of the shooting. Brown's family's lawyers said Brown had his hands on his car's steering wheel when he was shot.

Pasquotank Co. Sheriff Tommy Wooten released a video statement on Monday, saying "this tragic incident was quick and over in less than 30 seconds." Wooten claimed in the video that the body camera footage is, "shaky and hard to decipher," adding that it "only tells part of the story." No announcements were made about the release of the body camera footage to the public.

Seven deputies have been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation, and three others have resigned. None of the deputies have been criminally charged.
