Antonio Brown Shooting Case Update
Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been extradited from Dubai to the United States and arrested in connection with a shooting in Miami, according to the Miami Herald. Police confirm that U.S. Marshals were involved in his apprehension.
“Miami Police confirm that U.S. Marshals have apprehended Antonio Brown and that he has been extradited to the US. No date has been set for his transfer to Miami-Dade County,”
— Mike Vega, Miami Police spokesperson, quoted by NBC News.
Details of the Case
Authorities had been seeking Brown for several months due to his suspected involvement in a shooting that occurred on May 16 near an amateur boxing event in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood. Video footage from the scene appeared to show Brown in a confrontation moments before multiple gunshots were fired.
He was briefly detained at that time but released without charges. In June, law enforcement issued a warrant for his arrest, granting him an opportunity to surrender in exchange for a $10,000 bond and house arrest. Brown ignored the order, leading to his eventual extradition and detention.
Next Steps
According to reports, Brown’s trial is expected to begin soon. He could potentially face a murder charge if convicted.
