Police in Los Angeles have taken a suspect into custody following an incident where shots were fired near the residence of R&B star Chris Brown. The arrest occurred on Friday, May 1, after law enforcement responded to a report of a possible shooting on a street outside Brown’s home in the Tarzana neighborhood of the San Fernando Valley.

According to initial reports, Los Angeles Police Department officers were dispatched around 4 p.m. on Friday after receiving a call from a woman who claimed a Black male in his mid-thirties had allegedly fired at her vehicle. Upon their arrival, officers conducted interviews with both the male suspect and the woman involved in the altercation.

The suspect, later identified as 35-year-old Markeith Cungious, provided his account of the events leading up to the incident. He alleged that the woman had refused to leave the area, which subsequently led to an argument between the two. Cungious further claimed that the situation escalated dramatically when the woman reportedly drove over his foot, prompting him to discharge shots at her vehicle.

Authorities confirmed that no injuries were reported in the incident, and the woman did not require transport to a hospital. Markeith Cungious was arrested at the scene and subsequently booked on suspicion of discharging a weapon and possession of a weapon in connection with an assault with a deadly weapon case. Law enforcement officials clarified that the weapon used was a CO2-style handgun, distinguishing it from a traditional firearm.

The investigation into the incident remains ongoing. At present, it is not clear whether Chris Brown was at his home at the time of the shooting or if he has any direct connection to either of the individuals involved. Billboard has reportedly reached out to Brown’s representatives for a statement regarding the matter.

In unrelated news, Chris Brown has been actively promoting his upcoming album, titled "Brown," which is slated for release on May 8. Additionally, the artist is preparing for a highly anticipated joint stadium tour with Usher, scheduled to commence on June 26 at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver.
