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 an attempted murder charge related to a shooting incident in May, Miami police confirmed Thursday.
Brown, 37, is currently held in Essex County, New Jersey, awaiting extradition to Miami-Dade County, where the trial will take place. The exact timing of his apprehension and transfer to Miami 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 stated.
The charge stems from a May 16 dispute outside a boxing event hosted by influencer Adin Ross. Brown’s social media indicated he had been residing in Dubai for several months prior to his arrest.
When the arrest warrant was issued in June, Brown had an attorney who arranged a $10,000 bond along with house arrest conditions. However, he did not surrender, and authorities later moved to extradite him.
