Nearly a month after the incident, on Aug. 15, 47-year-old Brian Scott Heffren, of Miami, was arrested on a charge of attempted second-degree murder with a deadly weapon.

A records check showed the Jeep was registered to Heffren and one of the victims identified Heffren as the suspect from a photo lineup, the report said. Heffren was booked into jail. In bond court, he told a judge the gun wasn’t loaded. Records show the attempted murder charge was dropped but he now faces an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge.
