Overview
- Brown’s attorneys filed a motion in Miami-Dade Circuit Court this week to throw out the second-degree attempted murder charge by invoking Florida’s 2005 Stand Your Ground statute.
- The defense argues Brown reasonably feared serious harm and fired two warning shots from his own legally owned gun while aiming away from the other man.
- An arrest affidavit and prosecutors contend Brown seized a security guard’s handgun and fired at Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, citing surveillance and cellphone video and witness accounts.
- Nantambu says a bullet grazed his neck, and his lawyer labeled the defense motion “a farcical reimagining” of the shooting.
- Brown pleaded not guilty after being extradited from Dubai, remains on $25,000 bond with house arrest and a GPS monitor, and faces up to 30 years in prison if gun enhancements apply.
