In April, Turbyfill gave Brown a ride home and later returned to the residence to respond to a “domestic incident.” According to Brown’s attorney David Haynes, the deputy mistook the phone in Brown’s hand as a gun and he was shot while on the phone with a 911 dispatcher.  

Haynes said Brown and his family were pleased by the indictment. “The shooting resulted in significant injuries to Mr. Brown, which will undoubtedly impact him for the rest of his life,” Haynes said. “Isiah Brown’s life was shattered and changed forever when he crossed paths with David Turbyfill. While this indictment doesn’t take Mr. Brown’s physical pain away, it does signify a measure of justice.”  

Brown’s family and Haynes are asking that Turbyfill be terminated. The deputy has been placed on administrative leave based on the sheriff’s office policy. 

After being hospitalized in critical condition, Brown was discharged in May, The Hill reported.
