Marselles Brown Arrested in Las Vegas for Attempted Murder

Marselles Brown, father of Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown, was arrested in Las Vegas on suspicion of attempted murder following an alleged stabbing during a dispute over a parking space. The incident occurred at All American Park and involved Marselles stabbing a youth football coach in the stomach, who was then rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Marselles, a former professional heavyweight boxer, fled the scene but was later apprehended and booked into Clark County Detention Center. Jaylen Brown, a four-time NBA All-Star and recent NBA Finals MVP, reportedly does not have a close relationship with his father and was unaware of the incident. With Celtics teammate Jayson Tatum sidelined for the 2025-26 season due to injury, Jaylen is expected to lead the team in the upcoming season. The legal consequences for Marselles Brown could be severe, as attempted murder charges in Nevada carry significant prison time if convicted.
