- Miami Police said U.S. Marshals arrested Brown in Dubai and flew him to Essex County, New Jersey, where he remains in custody awaiting transport to Miami-Dade.
- The arrest warrant alleges he wrested a security guard’s handgun and fired twice at Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu after a May 16 event, with one round grazing the man’s neck.
- Prosecutors have charged second-degree attempted murder, an offense that carries a potential sentence of up to 15 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000 if convicted.
- Media accounts cite a cellphone video investigators obtained that purportedly shows Brown holding a gun before two shots are heard, and police reports note visible injuries to the alleged victim.
- Brown denied wrongdoing in a post on X, claiming he was attacked and describing self-defense, as officials have not yet detailed his Miami transfer timing or identified his legal counsel.
