Ex-NFL Star Antonio Brown Extradited to the U.S. for Miami Shooting Trial
Former NFL player Antonio Brown, 37, has been extradited from Dubai to the United States to face trial connected to a shooting incident in Miami nearly six months ago.
Arrest and Extradition
Authorities confirmed Brown arrived at Newark Airport in Essex County, New Jersey, and was taken into custody. He is expected to be transferred to South Florida, though no specific timetable has been disclosed.
When a warrant for his arrest was issued in June, police believed Brown was outside the country but did not specify his exact location. His attorney secured a $10,000 bond that required house arrest; however, Brown did not return to Florida as agreed.
Social Media Appearance
During this period, Brown appeared active on social media, sharing photos and videos from Dubai, some of which seemed to mock the criminal charges against him.
Incident Details
Police reported that the shooting took place around 3 a.m. on May 17 near 221 NE 67th Street in Miami. Officers responded to a ShotSpotter gunfire alert but found no victims or immediate evidence leading to an arrest after interviewing several people present at the scene.
“U.S. Marshals traveled overseas to pick up Brown and bring him back to the states,” police confirmed.
Summary
Antonio Brown faces trial in South Florida for his alleged role in a Miami shooting after being extradited from Dubai following months abroad.
