Former NFL superstar Antonio Brown has once again found himself in the center of a serious legal storm. The 37-year-old ex-wide receiver has been extradited from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, back to the United States to face an attempted murder charge in connection with a shooting that occurred outside a boxing event in South Florida earlier this year.

According to the Miami Herald, Brown is expected to stand trial after a warrant was issued for his arrest in June.“Brown’s Instagram posts show he has been in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, for the last few months.

The charges stem from a violent altercation in May during a celebrity boxing event hosted by streamer Adin Ross in Miami.

Videos circulated online appearing to show Brown engaged in a heated confrontation with several people outside the venue. In one clip, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver was allegedly seen holding a black pistol and chasing someone before a gunshot rang out, sending bystanders fleeing.

According to the arrest warrant obtained by The Washington Post, police reviewed surveillance footage showing Brown punching a man, which “sparked a melee.”

The report also stated that Brown allegedly took a gun from a security guard before running after the same individual. The victim was later identified as Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, who gained attention earlier this year for waving a Palestinian flag during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime performance.Authorities charged Brown with attempted second-degree murder with a firearm—a felony that could carry a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine under Florida law.
