Antonio Brown Extradited from Dubai for Miami Shooting Trial
Former NFL star Antonio Brown was extradited from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to the United States to stand trial for an attempted murder charge related to a May shooting incident in Miami, police confirmed Thursday.
Brown, 37, is currently held in Essex County, New Jersey, pending further extradition to Miami-Dade County. Authorities have not specified the exact time of his apprehension or when he will be transferred to Miami-Dade.
“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.
Details of the Case
- The attempted murder charge arises from a dispute on May 16 during a boxing event hosted by influencer Adin Ross in Miami.
- Brown had been residing in Dubai for several months, as reflected in his Instagram posts.
- When the arrest warrant was issued in June, Brown’s attorney secured a $10,000 bond including house arrest conditions, but Brown never surrendered to authorities.
