PONTIAC, Mich. - Aaron Michael Brown, a 33-year-old Detroit resident, was sentenced in Oakland County Circuit Court Monday to Assault/Bodily Harm Less Than Murder/Strangulation and Weapons Felony Firearm.

Circuit Court Judge David Cohen sentenced Brown to 1-10 years in prison for the Assault charge and an additional 2 years in prison for Felony Firearms.

On April 5, 2024, Brown got into a physical altercation with an employee of the Chipotle restaurant on Evergreen Rd. in Southfield and then shot the employee in the leg.

"The victim in this case was shot in the leg for simply doing his job. That is unacceptable,” said Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald. “This was a serious crime, and Aaron Brown will serve serious prison time for his actions. This sentence provides the victim with justice.”

Following the shooting, Brown had fled the scene but was quickly apprehended by Southfield Police that evening. Charges were filed on April 6, 2024.
