Upon returning home, Brown had an altercation with his brother and called 911 for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown\u2019s brother allegedly had a gun and would not let Isaiah into a room to retrieve his car keys and other personal effects. Dispatch labeled the call a domestic disturbance, and the same officer who had just given Brown a ride home returned to the house to investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown was on the phone with dispatch when the officer arrived. He was holding a cordless home phone, which the Deputy misconstrued as a gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Body camera footage and 911 audio were released on Friday. In the recordings, Brown repeatedly tells dispatch he is unarmed. Minutes later, the officer can be heard screaming at Brown to \u201cdrop the gun\u201d before saying, \u201cHe\u2019s got the gun to his head\u201d and \u201cStop walking towards me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David Haynes of The Cochran Firm in Washington DC. is representing Brown\u2019s case amid a flurry of national news coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is evident that the tragic shooting of Isaiah Brown was completely avoidable,\u201d said Haynes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe deputy in question made multiple basic policing errors and violated established protocols. The deputy was situated nearly 50 feet from Isaiah, was never threatened, and should not have discharged his weapon,\u201d Haynes concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>For important information and timely updates about this case, <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CochranFirm\"><strong>\u2018like\u2019 and follow The Cochran Firm on Facebook.<\/strong><\/a><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Additional Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation\/2021\/04\/25\/isaiah-brown-shot-virginia-sheriffs-deputy-phone-gun\/7376535002\/\">Virginia Deputy Mistook Cordless House Phone for Gun in Shooting of Black Man, Attorney Says<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcwashington.com\/news\/local\/northern-virginia\/bodycam-video-911-call-released-spotsylvania-county-shot-isaiah-brown\/2650612\/\">Video, 911 Call Released After Spotsylvania Deputy Shoots Man<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/04\/24\/us\/isaiah-brown-shooting.html\">Deputy Shoots Unarmed Man Repeatedly During 911 Call, Officials Say<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.katc.com\/news\/america-in-crisis\/isaiah-brown-shooting-family-to-hold-press-conference-after-unarmed-man-shot-by-deputies-in-va\">Isaiah Brown Shooting: Lawyer Calls for Release of Additional 911 Audio<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isaiah Brown, a 32-year-old Black man from Virginia, is fighting for his life after being shot 10 times by the same law enforcement officer who had helped Brown get home earlier the same day.
