Brothers Held Without Bond After Gunfire Erupts
11 Sep
Summary
- Two brothers arrested following a neighbor confrontation involving gunfire.
- Family claims sons acted in defense of an elderly relative.
- Legal deadline looms for indictment or bond release.
Two brothers, Camari Warner, 18, and Armani Warner, 23, have been incarcerated without bond in Gwinnett County since June following a dispute with a neighbor that resulted in gunfire. Their mother asserts the brothers were defending an elderly family member who was being confronted by a man. She claims the man fired a weapon first, several doors down from their home.
Gwinnett County police, however, concluded their investigation differently. Detectives reviewed video evidence and determined the circumstances did not support the use of force under Georgia's Stand Your Ground law. The evidence, according to police, did not show the neighbor pointing a firearm or firing a weapon. The brothers face felony charges including aggravated assault and terroristic threats.
The family's attorney criticizes the investigation and the denial of bond, emphasizing the brothers' lack of criminal history. A Gwinnett magistrate judge had previously criticized the neighbor's actions during a separate court proceeding. A significant legal deadline is September 25th; if the brothers are not indicted by this date, Georgia law mandates their release on bond after 90 days without formal charges. The family plans to hold a rally on September 16th at the Gwinnett County Superior Court.
