"According to an arrest warrant, Brown is accused of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer after a celebrity boxing match on May 16 and firing two shots at a man he had gotten into a fistfight with earlier. The victim, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, told investigators one of the bullets grazed his neck. Cellphone video obtained from social media showed Mr. Brown with the firearm in his hand advancing toward Mr. Nantambu on the outside walk."
"Based on his social media posts, Brown had been living in Dubai for several months. It wasn't immediately clear why it took investigators so long to arrest him, or why he was brought to New Jersey rather than Miami. It also wasn't clear from court or jail records if Brown has a lawyer. In a social media post after the altercation, Brown said he was defending himself because he was "jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me.""
