Former NFL star Antonio Brown has been extradited from Dubai to the United States, six months after an alleged attempted shooting at an influencer boxing event in Florida.
The 37-year-old Super Bowl champion was escorted by federal agents to the New York Metropolitan Area and turned over to local authorities before being sent to South Florida, where the incident allegedly occurred.
🔫 Details of the Alleged Incident
The shocking case stems from a May boxing event hosted by influencer Adin Ross.
- Antonio allegedly tried to shoot a man, identified as Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu.
- TMZ Sports previously reported that the altercation involved Antonio allegedly snapping at the victim before pulling a handgun.
- Brown has maintained that he was defending himself from people who tried to jump and rob him during the event.
Authorities say Antonio will likely be held at the Miami-Dade Department of Corrections and faces one count of attempted second-degree murder with a deadly weapon.
📸 Mug Shot Released
TMZ Sports obtained Brown’s mug shot, showing the retired wideout in a track jacket and buzzed haircut, reflecting the gravity of the situation as he faces U.S. legal proceedings.
The case marks yet another controversial chapter in Antonio Brown’s post-NFL life, following numerous legal and on-field incidents during his career.
🌍 International Extradition
Brown’s extradition highlights the cooperation between UAE authorities and U.S. federal agents, after he allegedly tried to evade American legal jurisdiction by remaining in Dubai.
“Antonio Brown was extradited this week from Dubai and is now back in the United States,” sources told TMZ Sports.
💬 Next Steps
Once processed in Miami-Dade, Brown will face a preliminary hearing where charges will be formally presented. The case will likely draw national media attention, given Brown’s high-profile status and history of legal controversies.
Fans and sports analysts alike are following the developments closely, debating Brown’s claims of self-defense versus the severity of the alleged charges.
