Downtown Orlando stabbing suspect won't face charges, state attorney says

The man accused of stabbing another man in downtown Orlando will not face charges, the state attorney’s office announced.The state filed a no information notice on Thursday in the case against Daeveon Jaquan Brown, 28. The filing states the state is not pursuing charges due to “insufficient admissible evidence stemming from a lack of a cooperating victim or witness”.The notice orders Brown’s release from custody, provided no other charges or holds are pending against him.Brown was arrested Oct. 10 in connection with the stabbing of Kevin Newhard near Orange Avenue and Central Boulevard in downtown Orlando. The incident came just 11 days after Brown was released from prison on a drug charge.Video of the altercation circulated widely on social media. Brown had pleaded not guilty to attempted first-degree murder with a weapon and claimed self-defense. His attorney, Christian Mota, argued Brown was not the aggressor and that the weapon used in the stabbing did not belong to his client.An O
