Deputies said Braxton was reported to have assaulted his girlfriend inside their townhouse. The Charles County Sheriff’s Office said the woman was able to get out of the home and came across a man who was walking his dog.

Witnesses told police, Braxton threatened to harm the man and continued to walk aggressively toward him, at which time the man, who has a permit to carry a firearm, produced a gun and shot Braxton, according to police.

Deputies said the man remained on the scene until officers arrived, was taken to the police station and released pending further investigation.
