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 charges related to an attempted murder. The incident occurred in May outside a Miami boxing event.
Miami police confirmed on Thursday that Brown, 37, is currently held in Essex County, New Jersey, awaiting extradition to Miami-Dade County. The timeline for his apprehension and transfer to Miami-Dade has not been disclosed.
“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,” said Miami police in a statement.
Background on the Case
Brown faces an attempted murder charge linked to a dispute on May 16 during a boxing event hosted by influencer Adin Ross. Social media posts show Brown had been in Dubai for several months before his extradition.
After a warrant for his arrest was issued in June, Brown obtained legal representation which secured a $10,000 bond and house arrest conditions. However, he never surrendered to authorities, leading to the extradition.
Next Steps
- Brown remains detained in New Jersey
- Plans for his transfer to Miami-Dade County are pending
- Authorities continue coordination between multiple agencies to process the case
