Former NFL star Antonio Brown was extradited from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to the United States to face charges related to an attempted murder. The incident originates from a shooting that took place in May outside a Miami boxing event.
Brown, 37, is currently held in Essex County, New Jersey, awaiting further extradition to Miami-Dade County, according to Miami police. The exact time of his apprehension and transfer to Miami-Dade remains unknown.
“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.”
The attempted murder charge stems from a May 16 dispute during a boxing event hosted by influencer Adin Ross. Brown's Instagram activity confirmed he had been in Dubai for several months prior to his arrest warrant being issued in June.
At the time the warrant was issued, Brown had a lawyer who secured a $10,000 bond with house arrest conditions, but he never surrendered to authorities. Police did not disclose if the extradition had been planned before his capture.
Antonio Brown’s case highlights the coordinated law enforcement efforts to bring suspects to justice across international borders.
