Summary

An attorney for Andrew Brown Jr.’s family said the shooting of the North Carolina Black man was an “execution.” The family was only shown a short snippet of the body camera video. Pasquotank County sheriff’s deputies fatally shot Brown when they attempted to serve him an arrest warrant. Few details and no video has been released publicly. Brown’s son, Khalil Ferebee, joins AC360 to remember his father and says he’s “heartbroken.” Plus, sources tell CNN President Biden will announce new CDC guidance about wearing masks outdoors. Dr. Leana Wen is an emergency room physician and the former Baltimore Health Commissioner. She tells Anderson Cooper outdoor masks mandate “can go” and says we should be focused on “reducing risk” not necessarily “eliminating risk.” Airdate: April 26, 2021 Guests: Khalil Ferebee Dr. Leana Wen To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
