0:30lifted his shirt to display the weapon,
0:31and within seconds fired a single shot
0:34to the chest at close range. Hughes was
0:36unarmed. Brewer immediately called 911
0:39and claimed self-defense, invoking
0:41Florida's stand your ground law, but

5:34was there for um the Super Bowl. Okay.
5:37Uh, I was with um my niece and her
5:40boyfriend. Okay. They left.
5:44I am now single, so I hung out for a
5:46little bit longer
5:49um to see if
5:53maybe a potential service might show up.
5:58Okay, nothing happened. I was ready to
6:00go home. Um I noticed there was a lot of
6:03activity
6:04going to and from the back door. Okay.
6:07As we have discussed in the past,
6:09correct? Yes. So I went out back to just
6:13see what was going
6:15on. As you know, I am
6:19armed. They sure my business, my
6:22property, right? I went out back and
6:26there was not one, this was not a drug
6:29dealer, I don't think, just a
6:34guy. And he had buddies with him. And
6:36there were there were cars, but he was
6:38in between two cars. There were c and
6:41there were people on either side and I
6:43guess they were all together. I don't
6:45know. They had to come from inside the
6:47bar. I don't know where they came from.
6:49And he's pissing in the parking lot,
6:51okay? And on the building. And I said,
6:55"Man, can't you just go in the in I'll
6:58be honest, can't you just go in the
7:00[ __ ] bar and piss in the toilet?" And
7:03we exchanged words. And as
7:07it progressed, he became more agitated
7:11and approached me. And I said, "Look, I
7:14own this. Stop." He continued to
7:18approach. I said, "I'm armed." It
7:21appeared as though he was reaching for
7:24something. The first shot went off this
7:27way. The second shot went off up in the
7:30air. To the best of my recollection, he
7:33was already on top of me. It would
7:35happen that fast. Okay. There's no doubt
7:37I fired a weapon. Okay. Because they
7:42wouldn't let me wash my hands. Yeah. We
7:45do that after it. It happened. All
7:48right. I immediately once he was down
7:51did not continue to assault him. Set my
7:54firearm on the hood of a car. Okay.
7:57Awaiting the arrival of the police. I
8:00did not render aid because other people
8:03showed up to render aid. Okay? And I
8:06know he's got a lot of witnesses.
8:08They're going to say a lot of different
8:10things. That's what happened from my
8:12perspective. Okay? But I can tell you he
8:15was on me so fast that my second shot
8:19went in the air. Okay? It was that fast.
8:23My property I stood my
8:26ground. I feared for my life. Period.
8:30Okay.
8:31On just so I know if you can draw me a
8:34little map, you know the property. D
8:36draw me a map where like where it was on
8:39the on the parking lot. So the parking
8:40lot's back here like
8:43this. That's the rear parking lot,
8:45right? Uh-huh.
8:48Okay. Let's say this is this is the door
8:50for Cong.
8:53Okay. Just draw it right there. Show me.
8:55It would say by the trailers or No. So
8:59there was a like a car. There were Well,
9:01you know the way the back parking line
9:03like this, right? Okay. No, not over
9:05here. Not Not These are the dumpster,
9:07right? Right. Here's that Jeep that's
9:10been sitting there forever. Yes. It was
9:12approximately here. There was a truck
9:15parked here. After it happened, it
9:18happened about here. Okay. I laid my
9:21firearm there. Okay. All right. When did
9:24you when did you make make contact with
9:27him? Um, as I as I came out Uhhuh. I was
9:31walking this direction. It started here.
9:35Mhm. Okay. And where did did it happen?
9:38Did the altercation happen like on the
9:41in the parking lot itself or in the
9:42parking lot itself? Okay. No, no, no.
9:45Not in the bar. I'm saying like Well,
9:47were you in between the park? In between
9:49the cars or was that in between? In
9:52between the cars. Okay. right here. All
9:54right. All of that's a matter of fact.
9:55It'll there's cameras everywhere, right?
9:58So that all of that is a matter of fact.
10:01Okay. And then as he approached me, I
10:04identified I own all of this. Yeah. It's
10:08all my property. Okay. I identified
10:10myself as the owner of the property. I
10:12identified myself as being armed.
10:15He still approached and appeared as
10:18though he was going for something. Okay.
10:21That's what did he tell you when you
10:23told him about what like what we were
10:26going back like who the [ __ ] are you?
10:28We're just going back and forth on this
10:31thing and it
10:33just that fast. Okay.
10:37It was it was not a long drawn out
10:39process. It really wasn't. Cuz if it had
10:42been, then his buddies that were here
10:45would have I mean, had they all come in
10:48together and it been a fist
10:51fight, things might have ended
10:53differently, but that dude was agitated
10:58already. I mean, you can test me for
11:00drugs or whatever. I don't know. I I I
11:04swear I hope he's okay. I I I I hit him
11:07in the abdomen.
11:10I don't think I hit him with the second
11:11shot because the second shot went in the
11:14air. It was that fast. So when when that
11:18h when the altercation happened
11:21um that you all came
11:23together, was there any contact with you
11:26on him? Did you grab him? Did he grab
11:28you? Did was there any uh hand contact?
11:34Not to my recollection. Okay. it. It
11:37happens so fast, but when somebody's
11:39coming at you that fast, I got you. It
11:41doesn't it doesn't matter. Right now, if
11:44we're going to get into very minute
11:48particulars, that's what I'm going to
11:50ask for a lawyer. Okay? Because I'm I'm
11:53telling you the overall scope of what
11:55happened. And the reason I asked for you
11:58is you understand the dynamics of that
12:00establishment. Yes, I do. And you so you
12:04know I'm armed all the time. Nature of
12:07my business and what goes on back there.
12:10And really all I was doing was walking
12:13through here to see what was going on to
12:15give me a call if something was
12:17happening. All right, that's it. When
12:19you been in contact? No, we have And you
12:22always tell me people have been doing
12:23stuff back there. We got a good
12:25relationship. In all honesty, I don't
12:28think these were I don't think they were
12:30dealing with anything. I think they were
12:32just drunk guys. Okay. They're local, I
12:36think. Right. Um and I can tell you one
12:38of them is probably going to try to kill
12:39me based on Did they say anything?
12:44The looks and finally your
12:47um officer
12:49that did not detain me, right? Really?
12:52He didn't handcuff me, but we went and
12:55sat on my back steps cuz originally I
12:58was looking at the
13:00scene and the guy was looking at me
13:03like, "Yeah, I'm going to get even with
13:05you." And the officer saw it too and he
13:07said, "Just come sit over here this
13:09direction." Right. So, just so I get it
13:13right, you walked out of here. You were
13:15walking just do you walk you walked out
13:19of countdown and you walk in there when
13:20you made when when you engaged Yeah. in
13:23the pissing and he zipped his pants up
13:27and we had words and he came at me.
13:30Okay. And I mean there's no reason for
13:32me to go with a guy that's just pissing
13:34other than verbally just you know
13:37really go to the [ __ ] bar. They got
13:41three bathrooms. I got you. No. Um, and
13:44I so I don't
13:45know beyond that. I I
13:49can I didn't know him. He had no reason
13:53to have malice for me that I'm aware of.
13:57Right. I mean, a lot of people know me.
13:59You know that. Yeah. I did not recognize
14:01him as someone
14:05that I'd run into before.
14:07Okay. All right. Um, and as far as
14:11words, if you don't can't remember what
14:12he told you or anything like that, it
14:14was
14:18all I hate to say it, but you know, in
14:21the heat of battle, in the heat of the
14:22moment, words are exchanged. Yes. Can I
14:25be verbally abusive? Yes, I can. But did
14:30did I walk up and strike him to cause
14:32him to come at me? No. Right. Okay. Look
14:36at my size. I mean, no. And I and my
14:40recollection is the guy was a little bit
14:41taller than I am. All right. Did he hit
14:44you? Did he strike you? No. He came at
14:46me in a threatening manner. Okay. And it
14:49appeared as though he was grabbing
14:51reaching for something, but he was
14:52coming at me. All right. And did you did
14:55you see what he was like what he was
14:56reaching at or anything like that? I did

58:42Oh my [ __ ] Yeah. Okay. After the
58:46interrogation, Lloyd Preston Brewer III
58:48was initially charged with seconddegree
58:50murder, but following a grand jury
58:52indictment, those charges were upgraded
58:54to first-degree murder. He also faced
58:56additional counts, including aggravated
58:59assault with a deadly weapon and
59:01violating the conditions of his
59:02concealed carry permit. Brewer claimed
59:05he acted in self-defense under Florida's
59:07stand your ground law. But in February
59:092005, Judge Mark Jones ruled that Brewer
59:12was the aggressor and denied him
59:14immunity, stating that the law was not
59:16enacted to protect someone like Lloyd
59:18Brewer under these circumstances, which
