A person who had been previously convicted of a crime in Florida has been accused of killing a man who was wielding a machete in self-defense.

At approximately 3:30 a.m, officers from the Bradenton Police Department were called to the scene of a reported shooting.
On Sunday, upon their arrival, they discovered a man who was experiencing two gunshot injuries.
The police have not disclosed the identity of the victim, but they were taken to a nearby hospital and declared deceased at a later time.
The mother of Aiden Fucci has been given a sentence for tampering with evidence in the murder case of cheerleader Tristyn Bailey. The investigators tried to find Bruce Brooks, who ran away after shooting a man, but the police confirmed that he was not a suspect.
Brooks, who had been convicted of a felony before, eventually got in touch with investigators and informed them that the 32-year-old victim had been engaged in a domestic altercation outside his residence just before 3:30 a.m.
According to Brooks, the disagreement eventually became more intense, with the victim shouting at nearby residents and then grabbing a machete. He then proceeded to enter a neighboring property and approach Brooks.
Florida authorities are searching for individuals who may have information related to a deceased newborn that was discovered in a dumpster. The individual mentioned that they were sleeping in the carport during the incident.
According to the police, Brooks shot the victim with a handgun in self-defense after waking up and seeing the victim approaching him with a machete.
Brooks is not allowed to have a firearm due to his status as a person who has been convicted of a crime.
