A Shelby County Jail inmate who died this summer possibly died from being pepper-sprayed by jail staff, according to his official autopsy report.

DeAndre Brown, the former director of the Shelby County Office of Re-Entry, was indicted and arrested for multiple financial felonies related to alleged mishandling of money given to his nonprofit.

A Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokesperson confirmed the officer who shot the suspect in the parking lot of the Dexter Ridge shopping center was with Homeland Security Investigations.
