A judge has ordered that all body camera and surveillance footage showing the shooting at the Riverchase Galleria on Thanksgiving night must be handed over to the attorney representing the man charged in the incident.

Erron Martez Dequan Brown, 20, is charged with attempted murder in the Nov. 22 shooting, which left an 18-year-old man and a 12-year-old girl injured. Hoover police shot and killed Emantic “E.J.” Bradford in the chaos that ensued, but said the following day that Bradford was likely not the person who fired the shots that injured the other two.

Brown, of Bessemer, is being held in the Jefferson County Jail on a $125,000 bond. His first court appearance was Wednesday, and his preliminary hearing has been set for January 17.

Late Tuesday, Brown’s attorney Charles Salvagio filed a routine motion requesting discovery from prosecutors. In that motion, Salvagio added a special request for all videos and police body camera footage of the incident. Wednesday morning, Jefferson County District Judge William A. Bell Jr. granted the motion.

Salvagio said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon that although the judge ordered prosecutors to turn over the footage, the prosecutors don’t have any videos—the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, who is also investigating the case, does. ALEA is “not going to rush this,” Salvagio said. “And they shouldn’t.”

Brown’s mother, Ebony Brown, said her son is a loving and cheerful person, who never met a stranger and attended college. “That’s my heart,” she said.

She said she and her family are hurt by the things they have heard about the shooting and her son’s involvement. “I just want the facts to come out,” she said. “Let the facts come out before you start judging.”

Ebony Brown said when the investigation is over, she believes her son’s name will be cleared.

“My condolences… from the Brown family, are out to the Bradford family.”

Salvagio said Bradford and Brown did know each other, along with everyone else involved in the incident. While he’s still waiting on video of the incident, Salvagio said he is investigating every part of the case and making sure to “turn over every leaf.”

“He is not guilty. Period,” Salvagio said.

Brown’s grandfather called Brown an “honest, hard-working, and disciplined” person. Acts Ministries Pastor Frederick Smith also spoke on behalf of the Brown family, saying there are two sides to every story. “There are polar stories being told,” he said. “I believe that Erron Brown is not the monster that has been presented by the media.”

The shooting happened just before 10 p.m. Thanksgiving night on the second floor of the Riverchase Galleria. Hoover police said an argument between several young men led to gunfire. Brian Wilson, 18, was wounded, as was bystander 12-year-old Molly Davis, who took a bullet to the back. Bradford was shot by a Hoover police officer, who was in uniform and on-duty as part of a beefed up holiday shopping detail.

Earlier this week, the Bradford family’s attorney Benjamin Crump held a press conference and released the findings of a private Preliminary Anatomical Review, conducted by a medical examiner from Washington D.C. Those findings showed, Crump said, that 21-year-old Bradford was shot three times from behind: Once in the head, once in the neck, and once in the back. The examiner also noted in the report that each of the three bullets entered the body at a slightly upward angle.

Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis announced Monday morning just before Crump’s press conference that details of the deadly shooting, including police body camera footage or mall surveillance video, will not be released by police at this time.

The news from Hoover comes after Hoover city councilor Derrick Murphy last week called for the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency to release information and footage of the Galleria incident. Murphy, along with Derzis and Hoover Mayor Frank Brocato, had said the city may release details of the shooting if ALEA did not.

“Hoover officials are respecting the requests of ALEA to not release any information at the risk of compromising the justice process for everyone involved,’’ Derzis said in a statement.

After the findings of the private exam were released, Hoover police responded: "We encourage Attorney Benjamin Crump and the Bradford family to submit the Preliminary Anatomical Review to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) so this new information becomes a part of the official investigation.

“We couldn’t agree more with Attorney Crump’s call for a thorough and complete investigation and for witnesses to come forward to assist in the search for the truth. We also agree with his call to refrain from speculation until the investigation is completed. Our sympathies are with the Bradford family as they, the community, and the City of Hoover, await ALEA’s complete investigation.”
