A North Carolina deputy shot and killed a Black man while serving a search warrant Wednesday, authorities said, spurring an outcry from community members who demanded law enforcement accountability and the immediate release of body camera footage. Authorities wouldn't provide details of the shooting but an eyewitness said that Andrew Brown Jr. was shot while trying to drive away, and that deputies fired at him multiple times. The car skidded out of Brown's yard and eventually hit a tree, said Demetria Williams, who lives on the same street.

Maryland is at the forefront of police reform after the General Assembly passed sweeping measures that require everything from a duty to intervene to a body camera program for all law enforcement agencies. George Floyd's death at the hand of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin amplified the need for sweeping police reform across the nation. Maryland's police reform package is expected to dramatically alter the way officers do their jobs and how they are disciplined. It's designed to hold law enforcement accountable and increase transparency.
