Twitch streamer Lil Gara, whose real name is Timothy Brooks, was arrested in Miami on May 28, 2025, on multiple felony charges. According to the Miami Dade County Mugshots Facebook page, the 20-year-old faces serious allegations, including kidnapping with a weapon (domestic violence), burglary with assault or battery (a punishable-by-life offense), and carrying a concealed weapon.
Brooks rose to viral fame nearly a year ago when a clip of his Twitch livestream — showing his real-time reaction to discovering his then-girlfriend’s infidelity — spread rapidly across social media. The emotional moment made him a trending figure online, but his recent arrest has brought renewed and far more serious attention.
Following the incident, Instagram user Indiyabb, believed to be Brooks’ ex-girlfriend, posted an image of the arrest record. In the caption, she expressed gratitude to supporters, writing, “Thank you to everyone who checked up on me while I went through something very traumatic, which almost caused me to lose my life.” She also announced plans to go live and share her side of the story, calling it a near-death experience.
As of this writing, Brooks remains in custody with no bond set. Twitch has not publicly commented on the situation, and no formal legal response has been issued on Brooks’ behalf.
What started as a viral internet moment has now evolved into a high-profile legal case involving serious allegations of domestic violence. Viewers and followers await further updates, particularly from Indiyabb’s upcoming livestream, where more details are expected to emerge.
