Antonio Brown Pleads Not Guilty in Miami Attempted Murder Case After Extradition

The case centers on video evidence and a victim affidavit, with the defense invoking Florida’s self‑defense law.

Overview

  • Brown arrived in Miami on Tuesday after waiving extradition from New Jersey following his arrest in Dubai, and he was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
  • Attorney Mark Eiglarsh filed a written not‑guilty plea and requested a jury trial, and a bond hearing could occur as early as Wednesday morning.
  • An arrest warrant alleges Brown punched Zul‑Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, took a security officer’s handgun, pursued him and fired two shots, with the victim saying a bullet grazed his neck.
  • Police initially detained and released Brown the night of the incident, and a warrant was issued after the victim’s May 21 statement and review of security and cellphone video.
  • The charge is second‑degree attempted murder with a deadly weapon, which carries a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine if convicted.
