SPOTSYLVANIA COUNTY, Va. – An unarmed Black man shot by a Virginia Sheriff’s deputy last month has been released from the hospital.
WTOP reports that 32-year-old Isiah Brown — who was unarmed when he was shot by sheriff’s deputy on April 21 – was released from the hospital on Tuesday.
His attorney, David Haynes, said Brown “will continue his rehabilitation at home after he was shot multiple times by a Spotsylvania County deputy last month while he was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher.” Haynes said doctors told Brown’s family that eight bullets were found in his body and that two of them were successfully removed.
Brown had been on a ventilator and remained in the intensive care unit during much of his hospital stay.
Brown was shot during the early morning hours of April 21 while outside a relative’s home. Someone had called 911 for what the sheriff’s department described as a “domestic disturbance.”
Brown’s family told NBC Washington the same deputy who shot him had given him a ride home from a gas station when his car had broken down earlier in the day.
