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 trial for an attempted murder charge related to a shooting incident in Miami earlier this year.
Details of the Case and Extradition
Brown, 37, is currently held in Essex County, New Jersey, while awaiting extradition to Miami-Dade County, where the trial will take place. Authorities have not disclosed the exact time of his arrest 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.
Background of the Incident
The attempted murder charge stems from a May 16 dispute at a boxing event hosted by influencer Adin Ross. Brown’s social media indicated he had been staying in Dubai for several months following the incident.
After a warrant for Brown's arrest was issued in June, he initially secured a $10,000 bond with house arrest through his attorney but failed to surrender himself to authorities. Police did not confirm whether extradition was planned at that time.
