Unarmed black man, Isaiah Brown, 32, ‘shot multiple times by white cop who was giving him a ride home in Spotsylvania’

AN unarmed black man is in intensive care after being shot 10 times by a police deputy who gave him a ride home when his car stalled and then returned when the man called 911 shortly after.

Isaiah Brown, 32, is in intensive care with 10 bullet wounds after being shot outside his home in Spotsylvania County early Wednesday, his family says.

Brown’s siblings told NBC News their brother was unarmed, with only his phone in his hand, when the shooting took place near their home.

“The officer just started shooting at him for no reason. I didn’t hear a warning shot. All I heard was ‘Hands up!’ one time. And all he had was his phone, so I know he put his hands up,” Tazmon Brown, the victim’s brother, said.

The incident began at around 2.30am on Wednesday morning when Brown’s car broke down at a gas station.

A police deputy, who is white, gave Brown a ride to his home and assured his siblings that he wasn’t in any trouble.

However, the same deputy returned later after Brown placed a 911 call about a domestic disturbance.

The officer then ended up shooting him multiple times outside the home.
