Antonio Brown Extradited from Dubai for Miami Shooting Trial
Former NFL star Antonio Brown was extradited from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to the United States to face trial for attempted murder following a shooting in May, Miami police confirmed on Thursday.
The 37-year-old Brown is currently held in Essex County, New Jersey, awaiting another extradition to Miami-Dade County. The exact time of his apprehension 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,” police said in a statement.
Background on the Charges
Brown faces an attempted murder charge related to a confrontation on May 16 at a boxing event hosted by influencer Adin Ross. Brown had been in Dubai for several months, as indicated by his Instagram posts.
After a warrant was issued in June for Brown’s arrest, he initially obtained a $10,000 bond with house arrest conditions through an attorney. However, he did not surrender to authorities, and it was unclear whether law enforcement planned to extradite him until recently.
