Antonio Brown Extradited from Dubai to Face Miami Shooting Trial
Former NFL star Antonio Brown was extradited from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to the United States to stand trial for an attempted murder charge related to a shooting in May, Miami police confirmed Thursday.
Brown, 37, is currently held in Essex County, New Jersey, awaiting a subsequent extradition to Miami-Dade County. The exact timing of his arrest 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.”
The attempted murder charge arises from a May 16 incident during a boxing event hosted by influencer Adin Ross. Brown’s social media activity showed he had been residing in Dubai for several months prior.
When a warrant was issued for his arrest in June, Brown had legal representation that secured a $10,000 bond including house arrest. However, he did not surrender voluntarily, and police confirmed the extradition operation without disclosing further details.
