Porch Dispute Escalates to Gun Threat in Niagara Falls Neighborhood

Niagara Falls Police responded to the 500 block of 18th Street around 9pm on June 18th after reports of a subject with a gun. Dispatch stated that it was a black male with black pants, and a grey hoodie who displayed the gun to a female.

Upon arrival, officers observed the male in front of the above address with a female that was sitting on the porch. Officers ordered the male to the ground and he was detained.

While searching the male, a purple handgun fell to the ground from his front waistband. He was then placed in the rear of a patrol vehicle.

The victim told police that she was outside arguing with the suspect when he pulled the gun out of his waistband and pointed it at her. Given his temperament, she was afraid he would shoot.

Officers learned that the firearm, a SCCY CPX-2, was loaded. The serial number was still on the gun. The suspect was identified as J’Quan Brewer.

Brewer was transported to police headquarters for booking and processing.
