Ex-NFL Star Antonio Brown Extradited to US for Miami Shooting Trial
Former NFL player Antonio Brown has returned to the United States to face trial for a shooting incident in Miami that took place nearly six months ago.
Extradition and Custody
Brown, 37, was extradited from Dubai and taken into custody at Newark Airport in Essex County, New Jersey. Authorities plan to transfer him to South Florida, though details on the timing and process have not been disclosed.
Background and Legal Actions
The arrest warrant was issued in June, with police believing Brown was overseas at the time, without revealing the location. Afterward, Brown retained an attorney who secured a $10,000 bond including house arrest, but Brown did not return to South Florida as required.
During this period, Brown shared images and videos from Dubai, some of which appeared to mock the Miami charges against him.
Incident Details
The shooting occurred at about 3 a.m. on May 17 near 221 NE 67th St in Miami. Police responded after an alert from the ShotSpotter gunshot detection system but did not make any arrests initially. No injuries were reported after officers questioned several people present at the scene.
