Ex-NFL Star Antonio Brown Extradited to Miami Over Attempted Murder Charge
Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown is being extradited to Miami to face charges related to an attempted murder case after a shooting outside a celebrity boxing event in May, authorities reported.
Extradition and Arrest Details
Miami Police confirmed on Thursday that the 37-year-old Brown was brought from Dubai to Miami. The U.S. Marshals Service reported that he arrived earlier that day via Newark, New Jersey, where he was booked into Essex County Jail.
Brown's Actions While on the Run
During his time evading authorities, Brown posted videos from Dubai that Miami Police interpret as taunts. Officer Michael Vega said:
“He was kind of taunting us, saying, I'm safe here, and that's what we interpreted from those videos, but you know what, he was laughing then, we're getting the last laugh.”
Vega added,
“No matter who you are, what power or what money you have, if you commit a crime in the city of Miami, we're going to identify and locate you and bring you to justice."
Incident and Charges
A warrant was issued in June for Brown's arrest on a charge of attempted murder with a firearm. This relates to the May 16 shooting near Northeast 2nd Avenue and 67th Street, outside the event venue.
An off-duty officer providing event security reported that after hearing gunfire, he left the area and witnessed Brown physically fighting another person in the parking lot, according to the warrant.
Summary
Antonio Brown faces serious legal consequences as Miami authorities bring him back to answer for attempted murder charges linked to a May shooting incident.
