Antonio Brown Moves to Dismiss Attempted Murder Case Under Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law

A Dec. 22 status hearing will address the self-defense bid following prosecutorial objections.

Overview

  • Defense attorneys filed a Miami-Dade motion seeking pretrial immunity, asserting Brown reasonably feared harm and fired two warning shots not aimed at the alleged victim.
  • Prosecutors and an arrest affidavit contend Brown took a security worker’s gun and fired two shots at Zul‑Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, a claim the defense disputes by saying Brown used his own weapon.
  • The motion details a prior history between the men, including a 2022 Dubai incident in which Nantambu spent 30 days in jail for stealing Brown’s jewelry, and an alleged 2023 backstage attack.
  • Nantambu says a bullet grazed his neck, and his attorney called the defense narrative a farcical reimagining that misstates what video and witnesses show.
  • Brown was extradited from Dubai in November, pleaded not guilty, and remains on $25,000 bond under house arrest with a GPS monitor, facing up to 30 years if convicted under Florida firearms statutes.
