'At one point, I was getting a lot of death threats and getting a lot of bomb threats on my home.'
The teenager, who suffered minor injuries, said he went into 'freak-out mode' after bullets suddenly flew toward him.
'I am running, feel something hit my foot. I hide behind a tree. I'm crunched down. I'm in a fetal position almost. I call my mom. I'm like, 'Is the front door unlocked?'' he said.

'…It's really frantic at first. I'm holding my foot because it's hurt, and I'm using words like shot and guns, and my brother's all like – it's just very frantic,' the teen added.
In February, Brewer, a convicted felon, pleaded guilty to one count of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
Mixon, who was with the Bengals at the time and now plays for the Texans, has not been charged in the case, but is being sued by the legal guardians of the teenager.

Former Bengals cornerback Adam 'Pacman' Jones arrested for disorderly conduct outside Cincinnati
Former NFL cornerback Adam "Pacman" Jones was arrested near Cincinnati on Friday night, per multiple reports. Jones, who was best known for his time with the Cincinnati Bengals, was charged with public intoxication, disorderly conduct and assault of an officer. Jones was booked in Kenton County Jail, just outside of Cincinnati, just before 2 a.m. He was released Saturday on $100,000 bond, and has a court appearance scheduled for Monday. Advertisement Additional details of his arrest have not been reported. Jones was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2005 as the sixth overall pick out of West Virginia, and later went on to play eight seasons with the Bengals. But his NFL career was often marred by legal issues: Jones had a series of off-field incidents, including involvement in a shooting in Las Vegas, in his first two years in the league. As a result, Jones was eventually suspended by the league for the 2007 season, essentially marking the beginning of the league's personal conduct policy. Jones officially retired from the NFL in 2019, but his legal troubles continued. Just before his retirement, Jones was arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct in a casino in Indianapolis. In 2021, he was charged with assault in Hamilton County, OH after punching and kicking someone in the head until they were unconscious. Advertisement Jones was also arrested in 2023 after an incident on a plane, and was charged with misdemeanor alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct and terroristic threatening. However, the former cornerback denied those charges, saying at the time that he was just requesting a different seat so he could charge his iPad. He was also arrested last November after the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul boxing match in Arlington, Texas, and charged with public intoxication, assault on a peace officer, evading arrest and resisting arrest.
