Antonio Brown Extradited to Face Trial in Miami Shooting Case

MIAMI, Florida — Former NFL player Antonio Brown has returned to South Florida to face charges related to an alleged shooting incident that occurred over six months ago. Brown, 37, was extradited from Dubai and taken into custody after being detained at Newark Airport in New Jersey.

Law enforcement officials confirmed the extradition and stated that Brown is now in the custody of the Miami-Dade Department of Corrections. The arrest warrant for Brown was issued in June after the shooting incident took place around 3 a.m. on May 17 in the vicinity of 221 NE 67th St. Police were alerted to the scene via the ShotSpotter gunshot detection system. However, no arrests or injuries were reported at the time.

Video footage shared on social media shows Brown engaging in a fight during a celebrity boxing event hosted by popular streamer Adin Ross. In the videos, Brown appears to brandish a black pistol while chasing another individual. Gunshots can be heard shortly after the altercation. According to the arrest warrant, Brown was allegedly targeting Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, who was involved in the fight with him.

Security guards at the event intervened, and the footage reportedly shows Brown grabbing a gun from a security member during the chaos. Although he was seen in handcuffs at the scene, police did not arrest him that night because they could not identify a victim.

After the incident, Brown took to social media, asserting that he was attacked by multiple assailants who attempted to steal his jewelry. “Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED,” he stated.

In June, reports surfaced that Brown was wanted on an attempted murder charge, which stemmed from the confrontation at the boxing event. A judge had signed the warrant for attempted murder with a firearm, requiring Brown to post a $10,000 bond and remain under house arrest while awaiting trial.

As of now, Antonio Brown faces serious charges as the legal proceedings unfold. The details surrounding the shooting incident and his extradition will likely dominate upcoming news reports.
