Antonio Brown’s Lawyer Invokes 'Stand Your Ground' in Miami Shooting Case

Prosecutors question whether the danger had passed when the gunfire occurred.

Overview

  • U.S. Marshals located Brown in Dubai, and after he waived extradition he was returned through New Jersey to Florida custody.
  • He is charged with second-degree attempted murder tied to a May 2025 shooting outside a Miami celebrity boxing event that injured at least one person.
  • Attorney Mark Eiglarsh says Brown acted in lawful self-defense under Florida’s stand-your-ground statute.
  • Prosecutors are preparing to argue the perceived threat had ended when shots were fired, with surveillance and cellphone video expected to be central.
  • An alleged aggressor, Zül-Qarnain Nantambu, may testify that he was being attacked, and a conviction could carry a sentence of up to 15 years.
