Ex-NFL Star Antonio Brown Extradited to Miami for June Shooting Trial
Former NFL player Antonio Brown has returned to South Florida to face legal charges related to a shooting incident that occurred nearly six months prior. Brown, currently aged 37, was extradited from Dubai to Miami for trial.

The shooting incident took place in the early hours of May 17 at 221 NE 67th St., Miami. Local police were alerted to the scene following signals from the ShotSpotter gunshot detection system. Upon their arrival, they found no victims and made no immediate arrests, despite questioning several witnesses present at the location.

- Date of Incident: May 17
- Location: 221 NE 67th St., Miami
- Time: Approximately 3 a.m.
Legal Proceedings
Following the issuance of an arrest warrant for Brown in June, authorities believed he was outside the United States. However, he was apprehended at Newark Airport in New Jersey upon his return. An attorney was hired by Brown, who managed to secure a $10,000 bond which included house arrest. Despite this arrangement, he did not return to South Florida until his recent extradition.
Witness Accounts and Brown’s Defense
An arrest warrant detailed that Brown reportedly targeted Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, who was involved in the altercation with him. Security personnel tried to defuse the situation, but allegations suggest that Brown seized a firearm from one of the security guards.
After the incident, Brown took to social media to share his side of the story, asserting that he was assaulted by multiple individuals attempting to steal his jewelry. He claimed that the police briefly detained him before releasing him without any charges that night.
Current Status
As Brown prepares for trial in Miami, the legal implications of the case remain significant. The outcome may have lasting effects on his career and personal life.
