Brown, 40, is now facing charges of criminal solicitation to commit murder.

Investigators said the charges stem from a conversation on March 4, 2022, between Brown and one of his sons after another one of his sons was shot.

“Man y’all got the green light anybody, anybody, anybody,” Brown said on the call. “I don’t give a ****! You can’t catch em, green light his mama [and] them. And don’t hit no cars, don’t hit no houses, don’t hit no cars, hit people.”

Investigators said over the next four days following the call, there were multiple shootings in the city of Titusville, some of which resulted in the deaths of individuals with a documented history and association with Brown’s family.
