SWAT members fired a "Sage riot gun" and hit the suspect several times, after which he was arrested.
Warner was charged with one count of aggravated battery with a firearm, one count of probation violation, one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and one count of display of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
The victim was later identified as Antonio Brinson, 33, of Lauderhill.
