MIAMI, United States — Antonio Brown, a former NFL star, has been extradited from Dubai to the United States to face an attempted murder charge related to a shooting incident in May, according to the Miami Police Department. The department announced on Thursday that Brown was apprehended in Dubai following a collaborative effort involving the Crime Gun Intelligence Unit, the Felony Apprehension Team, prosecutors, and U.S. Marshals. Brown is currently held in Essex County, New Jersey, awaiting extradition to the Miami-Dade County Jail. The charges stem from an incident at an amateur boxing event in Miami on May 16, where Brown allegedly fired shots after a physical altercation. Witnesses reported that Brown took a handgun from a security guard. An off-duty police officer detained Brown at the scene, but no gun was found on him. Brown claimed on social media that he was attacked by multiple individuals attempting to steal his jewelry. This incident adds to Brown’s extensive legal troubles, including a 2019 sexual assault accusation and a 2020 burglary and battery case. Brown’s NFL career ended abruptly in 2022 after he left the field during a game.
