Overview

  • Miami-Dade County judges signed the warrant on June 11, charging Brown with attempted murder with a firearm and ordering house arrest pending trial.
  • Investigators cite surveillance and cellphone video from the May 16 event showing Brown initiate a fight, take a security guard’s gun and fire at least two rounds.
  • Brown initially told police he was “jumped” in an attempted robbery and was released the night of the incident before posting his account on social media.
  • The alleged victim, treated at a Miami hospital for a graze wound, identified Brown in the footage and told detectives he had known the former receiver since 2022.
  • The attempted murder charge adds to a series of post-NFL legal battles for Brown, including domestic violence allegations, child support disputes and a bankruptcy filing.
