Ex-NFL Star Antonio Brown Extradited from Dubai in Attempted Murder Case
Antonio Brown, former NFL wide receiver, has been extradited from Dubai and is set to face trial in Miami on attempted murder charges. The case relates to a shooting incident outside a boxing event in Miami earlier this year.
Brown spent most of his 12-year NFL career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is accused of firing two shots at a man following an altercation at an amateur boxing event held in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood on May 16.
Details of the Incident
An arrest warrant issued in June states that Brown appeared to take “a black firearm from the right hip area” of a security official and fired at a man later identified as Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu. Brown had not returned to Florida since the event.
Extradition and Custody
On Thursday, authorities confirmed to NBC Miami that Brown, 37, was extradited from Dubai, where he was reportedly trying to avoid U.S. law enforcement. He arrived via Newark, New Jersey, and was booked into Essex County Jail.
He is expected to be transported to South Florida, though the timing of his transfer remains uncertain.
Social Media Footage
Video footage from the May incident, shared on social media, shows Brown involved in a physical altercation during the boxing event. The event was hosted by popular internet personality Adin Ross.
