Antonio Brown Extradited From Dubai, Now in U.S. Custody on Attempted Murder Charge

U.S. Marshals worked with UAE authorities to return the former NFL receiver after months abroad.

Overview

  • Miami police said U.S. Marshals apprehended Brown and extradited him from Dubai to the United States.
  • He is being held in South Florida on one count of attempted second-degree murder with a deadly weapon, with transfer and court dates still to be set.
  • Authorities say the charge stems from a May 16 altercation outside an Adin Ross–hosted boxing event in Miami’s Little Haiti, where videos captured a melee and apparent gunfire.
  • Investigators obtained a Miami-Dade warrant in June that offered a $10,000 bond and house arrest if he surrendered, which he did not.
  • The alleged victim has been identified as Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, while Brown drew notice for continued social media posts during the months he was being sought.
