Paterson Brown Jr. was 18 and a recent high school graduate when he was shot and killed at a Richmond, Virginia car wash on October 17, 2015. He entered the personal vehicle of off-duty Richmond police officer David L. Cobb, who was not in uniform, and a confrontation followed. Surveillance video shows a physical struggle before Cobb fired; Brown was unarmed when struck and later died at a local hospital.

A grand jury indicted Cobb on second-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. His first trial ended in a June mistrial when the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict. At a retrial in February 2017, the jury convicted Cobb of voluntary manslaughter; in May 2017 a judge sentenced him to three months in jail.

Are there details from the car wash encounter or the surveillance footage that someone in the Richmond area can help clarify?
