Man Arrested After Jumping Gate, Trying to Set Fire at Superstar Singer’s Home

Security stopped the man after he returned and tried to climb the fence, and LAPD is sending the case to prosecutors.

  • On Wednesday, May 13, 2026, the Los Angeles Police Department arrested a man for trespassing and attempting to set fire to singer Chris Brown's home in Tarzana after he climbed a fence shortly before 7 p.m.
  • Earlier this month, security guard 35-year-old Markeith Cungious allegedly fired a CO2-style handgun at a woman's vehicle outside the same San Fernando Valley property, prompting his arrest and subsequent firing.
  • Brown was not home during the alleged break-in, and no one was injured, according to officials; the LAPD is referring the trespassing case to prosecutors for potential charges.
  • According to TMZ reports, the security guard was fired following the May 2 dispute, while the property has faced heightened security concerns this month.
  • Brown is scheduled to hit the road this summer with fellow R&B megastar Usher, having last performed in Detroit in August 2025 as part of the "Breezy Bowl XX" tour.
