Ex-NFL Star Antonio Brown Extradited from Dubai
Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has been extradited from Dubai and is now set to face trial in Miami on an attempted murder charge. The case involves a shooting incident outside an amateur boxing event earlier this year.
Details of the Incident
Brown, who played most of his 12-year career with the Pittsburgh Steelers and reached All-Pro status, is accused of firing two shots at a man following an altercation on May 16 in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood. The victim was later identified as Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu.
An arrest warrant from June states that Brown appeared to grab “a black firearm from the right hip area” of a security official and shot at the victim.
Extradition and Legal Proceedings
Authorities confirmed Brown’s extradition from Dubai, where he was allegedly attempting to avoid U.S. law enforcement. He arrived via Newark, New Jersey, and was booked into Essex County Jail on Thursday.
His transfer to South Florida is planned, but the exact timeline remains unclear.
Additional Context
Video footage from the May incident circulating on social media showed Brown involved in a physical altercation during the boxing event, which was hosted by popular streamer and internet personality Adin Ross.
