Antonio Brown Extradited from Dubai to Face Trial for Miami Shooting
Former NFL star Antonio Brown was extradited from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to the United States to face trial for an attempted murder related to a shooting incident in Miami earlier this year.
Miami police confirmed on Thursday that Brown, 37, is currently detained in Essex County, New Jersey. He awaits another extradition to Miami-Dade County to face charges connected to the May 16 altercation at a boxing event hosted by influencer Adin Ross.
The exact timing of Brown’s apprehension and his transfer to Miami-Dade County remains unclear.
“This is just another example of the relentless work and dedication of Miami Police detectives, working closely with the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office and U.S. Marshals to identify and arrest those who commit crimes in the City of Miami,” police said in a statement.
Brown’s social media posts indicated he had been in Dubai for several months before his arrest. After a June arrest warrant was issued, an attorney posted a $10,000 bond for Brown with house arrest conditions, but he failed to surrender to authorities, prompting the ongoing extradition efforts.
