Man Arrested After Shots Fired Outside Chris Brown’s Tarzana Home

Police say the use of a CO2-style handgun determined the charges under California law.

Overview

  • LAPD arrested 35-year-old Markeith Cungious after a Friday street dispute outside Chris Brown’s Tarzana home led to shots at a woman’s car.
  • Police said the weapon was a CO2-style handgun, which is not treated as a conventional firearm under state law.
  • Cungious was booked on assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm and vandalism, and his bail was set at $50,000.
  • Officers said the confrontation happened in the street rather than on the property and that Brown was not involved. Brown later posted that reports should not attach his name to the incident.
  • Police interviewed both parties at the scene, heard conflicting accounts about what triggered the dispute, and reported no serious injuries as the investigation continues.
