Antonio Brown Extradited and Arrested in Miami Shooting Case
Antonio Brown has been extradited from Dubai to the United States and arrested in connection with a Miami shooting case, according to the Miami Herald. Police spokesperson Mike Vega confirmed the apprehension of the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star.
“Miami Police confirm that U.S. Marshals have apprehended Antonio Brown and that he has been extradited to the US. No date has been set for his transfer to Miami-Dade County,” said Vega, as reported by NBC News.
Details of the Case
Brown was wanted for months related to a shooting on May 16 near an amateur boxing event in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood. Videos showed the ex-NFL player allegedly involved in a fight when multiple gunshots were fired.
Initially detained briefly after the incident, Brown was released with no charges filed at that time. However, in June a warrant was issued after he failed to surrender himself despite being offered the chance to do so on a $10,000 bond with house arrest conditions.
Upcoming Trial and Possible Charges
His trial is expected to begin soon, and he could face a murder charge connected to the shooting.
Recent Public Appearance
Just last week, the 37-year-old shared a sponsored video promoting the online betting site BC Game to his 15 million Instagram followers. The clip showed Brown driving a black Lamborghini with a carefree attitude at an undisclosed location.
Summary
Antonio Brown’s extradition reflects the escalation of legal proceedings as he faces serious charges related to a Miami shooting, while maintaining a public presence online.
