Months after allegedly shooting into a Miami, Florida crowd, former NFL player Antonio Brown has been extradited from Dubai back to the United States to face an attempted murder charge. He landed back in New Jersey, and will likely be transported and booked into the Miami-Dade Department of Corrections.
According to several news outlets, on Thursday (November 6), the Miami Police Department confirmed Brown’s extradition to face trial on an attempted second-degree murder charge related to a shooting earlier this year in Little Haiti. Reportedly, Brown’s capture ends a 4 1/2-month-long search.
Legal experts say Brown might not receive bond, being deemed as a potential flight risk, as he was caught overseas. According to NBC News, Miami Police spokesperson Mike Vega said:
“Miami Police confirm that U.S. Marshals have apprehended Antonio Brown and that he has been extradited to the U.S. No date has been set for his transfer to Miami-Dade County.”

In June, Nantambu was arrested on charges of resisting arrest and disturbing the peace by interrupting a lawful assembly. The two incidents appeared to have been linked according to reports as Brown reacted to Nantambu on X. He wrote:
“That guy is a fraud, liar, stalker & criminal. He was arrested in 2022 for stealing 6 figures of jewelry from me. He then showed up at my show at rolling loud in 2023 trying to assault me.
Then in May he snuck into a gate at the event and came right up to me trying to steal from me and threaten my life, Media hasn’t told this story yet… instead painting a false picture of me. That night I was fighting for my life with his intentions.”
