Shia LaBeouf was apparently looking for a fight before he got his butt kicked early Tuesday ... and we have video of what may have instigated his epic beatdown.

The FBI came up dry on its DNA test of the glove found 2 miles from Nancy Guthrie's home, but TMZ has learned the agency is now doing genealogy testing, which has become a powerful tool in catching criminals.
The DNA on the glove did not get a hit from CODIS -- the database that profiles nearly 27 million people convicted of various crimes -- but genealogy testing is far broader. They're also analyzing DNA evidence found at Nancy's house.
The big companies -- 23andMe and Ancestry.com -- do not cooperate with law enforcement for privacy reasons. But smaller companies work with law enforcement, so it's another avenue for the FBI to pursue.

The glove authorities found 2 miles from Nancy Guthrie's home has been DNA tested in Florida, but there's still another step before the DNA profile can be entered in the CODIS system ... sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ.
Under federal law, the FBI cannot use the CODIS system unless the item in question is tested in the state where it was found -- in this case, Arizona. Our sources say the glove has already been sent back to Arizona. As for why the Pima County Sheriff decided to send the glove to Florida in the first place, knowing the glove would have to be re-tested in Arizona ... our sources have no idea.
We're told the type of DNA testing -- a PCR test -- typically only takes a day to get results. Our sources say the process should go quickly, and there should be results from CODIS in the next 24 hours, and maybe sooner. There are almost 27 million DNA profiles in the CODIS system.
