The Enquirer Walmart shooter gets $5 mil

$20/hr Starting at $25

During a Friday afternoon arraignment, bond was reduced to $900,000 for Anthony Freeman Brown, 32, of Hamilton, who is accused of killing one person and injuring another at a Walmart located in Fairfield Township.

Brown is also seeking to change his plea to not guilty by reason of insanity. A July 26 date has been set to hear that motion.

Friday afternoon the Fairfield Township police made the body cam footage of the incident available, which contained footage of the scene shortly after the shooting.

Previously: $5 million bond for Anthony Brown

During a hearing on May 27, a Butler County judge set the bond for Brown at $5 million.

Adam Lee Black, 35, died at the scene of the shooting on May 26, according to the Butler County Coroner’s Office. The injured person has been released from the hospital according to law enforcement.

The Fairfield Township police incident report says Black was shopping at the store around 8 p.m. when Brown fired gunshots during a robbery attempt.

Brown was indicted on aggravated murder, murder, aggravated robbery, felonious assault and having weapons under disability.

Brown's attorney, Clyde Bennett, said the bond amount was unconstitutional.

'The scariest situation': One dead, another injured after shooting at Ohio Walmart

"It is excessive," Bennett said, after the bond was set. "The court's decision on bond will be challenged in the Butler County Court of Common Pleas and if necessary the 12th District Court of Appeals."

The shooting occurred just before 8 p.m., according to Fairfield Township Police Captain Doug Lanier.

Brown was taken into custody in the Lowe’s parking lot off Roosevelt Boulevard and Interstate 75 shortly after 4 a.m., on May 26, Lanier confirmed.
