Overview
- Authorities in Miami-Dade arrested influencer and boxer Nurideen Shabazz, known as DeenTheGreat, on a charge listed as robbery/strongarm/attempt following a yacht confrontation.
- Police say Ring camera footage voluntarily provided by the yacht owner and portions of the live stream show Shabazz yelling for someone to seize the woman’s phone and making repeated physical contact during a struggle.
- Officers detained Shabazz when the yacht returned, questioned him after reading Miranda rights and say his account conflicted with the video before he was booked at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
- Shabazz entered a written not-guilty plea, has demanded a jury trial and requested discovery from prosecutors, and his bond was set at $2,500.
- Under Florida law, an attempted robbery conviction can carry up to several years in prison and other penalties, and the case highlights how livestreamed events and recorded footage can become key criminal evidence.
