The warrant for Brown's arrest on June 12 says that patrons at the event told police that Brown was the shooter, but he didn't have a weapon on him when he met with police.
Additionally, The Washington Post reports that investigators received video of Brown punching a man, which started the fight, and later shows him taking a security officer's gun. The alleged victim later told police that Brown shot at him twice, but he was able to force a struggle for the gun before police arrived.
