An African-American father of 10 was shot dead by police during an investigation in North Carolina on Wednesday, local authorities said amid a surge in concern over law enforcement shootings.

Pasquotank County Sheriff Tommy Wooten said one of his deputies fatally shot Andrew Brown in Elizabeth City near the Atlantic coast while a warrant against Brown was being exercised.According to local television channel WAVY, citing witnesses, Brown was shot while attempting to flee police in his car.Wooten pledged transparency in the investigation. He said they had yet to analyze footage from body cameras worn by the police officers involved.

Less than an hour before that verdict came in, police in Ohio fatally shot a Black teenager who appeared to be lunging at another person with a knife. The high number of African-Americans killed by police has sparked calls for broad reforms in policing.
