Antonio Brown Extradited from Dubai to Face Miami Shooting Trial
Former NFL player Antonio Brown has been extradited from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to the United States, where he faces trial for an attempted murder related to a shooting incident in Miami, police reported.
Authorities confirmed Thursday that Brown, aged 37, is currently being held in Essex County, New Jersey, as he awaits further transfer to Miami-Dade County. The exact timing of his apprehension and subsequent transport remains undisclosed.
“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,”
the Miami Police Department stated.
The attempted murder charge stems from a violent altercation on May 16 during a boxing event hosted by influencer Adin Ross in Miami. Police said Brown has been in Dubai for several months, as shown in his social media posts.
In June, after the arrest warrant was issued, Brown’s attorney arranged a $10,000 bond and house arrest conditions. However, Brown did not surrender, and officials declined to comment at the time on possible extradition efforts.
