Antonio Brown Extradited from Dubai to Face Miami Trial
Former NFL star Antonio Brown has been extradited from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to the United States to face trial for attempted murder related to a May shooting in Miami, according to local police.
Authorities confirmed on Thursday that the 37-year-old is being held in Essex County, New Jersey, and will later be transferred to Miami-Dade County. The timeline of his capture and transport remains undisclosed.
“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 incident reportedly occurred outside a boxing event on May 16 hosted by influencer Adin Ross. Brown faces an attempted murder charge connected to the dispute.
Police documents show that Brown had been in Dubai for several months, as confirmed by his own social media posts. After a warrant was issued for his arrest in June, his attorney secured a $10,000 bond and arranged for house arrest. However, Brown never surrendered himself to authorities, and police had not previously disclosed whether extradition efforts were underway.
