Antonio Brown Extradited from Dubai to Face Trial in Miami Shooting Case
Former NFL star Antonio Brown was extradited from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to the United States to face trial related to an attempted murder charge. The case stems from a shooting incident that occurred in May outside a boxing event in Miami.
Details of the Extradition and Charges
Miami police confirmed on Thursday that Brown, 37, is currently held in Essex County, New Jersey, awaiting another extradition to Miami-Dade County for trial. The exact timing of his apprehension and transfer to Miami-Dade remains unclear.
“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 Case
- The attempted murder charge relates to a May 16 dispute at a boxing event hosted by influencer Adin Ross.
- Brown’s Instagram activity showed that he had been residing in Dubai for several months prior to his extradition.
- When the arrest warrant was issued in June, Brown had legal representation that secured a $10,000 bond and house arrest conditions.
- However, Brown did not turn himself in, and police did not disclose if they originally intended to extradite him.
Authorities continue to coordinate efforts to bring Brown to trial in Miami-Dade.
