Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has been extradited from Dubai to the United States to face a second-degree attempted murder charge linked to a shooting incident in May. The Miami Police Department confirmed that Brown, who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was located in Dubai, apprehended, and subsequently extradited to Essex County, New Jersey, by U.S. Marshals. He is currently held in Miami-Dade County Jail awaiting further legal proceedings. The charges stem from an incident in which Brown allegedly seized a gun from a security guard and fired two shots at a man he had previously been in a physical altercation with. No injuries were reported, and no arrests were made at the time. Brown, 37, was briefly detained but later released after providing his account of the events. In a social media post, Brown claimed he was attacked by multiple individuals attempting to steal his jewelry and harm him, contradicting circulating video evidence. Brown, who played a pivotal role in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ 2021 Super Bowl victory, now faces serious legal consequences as the case unfolds.
