Antonio Brown Extradited From Dubai to Face Miami Trial
Former NFL player Antonio Brown has been extradited from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to the United States to stand trial for an attempted murder case connected to a shooting in Miami earlier this year, according to police.
Authorities confirmed Thursday that the 37-year-old is currently being held in Essex County, New Jersey, as he awaits transfer to Miami-Dade County. Officials have not yet disclosed the details of his arrest or the timeline for his transportation to Florida.
"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,"

Brown faces an attempted murder charge linked to a violent altercation on May 16 during a boxing event organized by influencer Adin Ross. His social media activity over recent months indicated he had been residing in Dubai.
When a warrant for his arrest was issued in June, Brown retained an attorney who arranged a $10,000 bond and house arrest. However, he did not surrender to authorities at that time. Police had previously declined to comment on extradition plans.
