(CNN) A grand jury has indicted a Virginia's sheriff's deputy in connection with the April shooting of Isiah Brown, who was unarmed, according to a special prosecutor for the case. Prosecutor Justin Witt of the Fredericksburg County Commonwealth Attorney's Office told CNN on Friday that Spotsylvania County Deputy David Turbyfill had been indicted on a felony charge of "reckless handling of a firearm resulting in serious injury." "Isiah Brown's life was shattered and changed forever when he crossed paths with David Turbyfill," Haynes said. Haynes previously said the deputy mistook a phone for a gun. The deputy was placed on administrative leave following the shooting, in accordance with the sheriff's office policy, Sheriff Roger Harris previously said.
