Ex-Steelers star Antonio Brown wanted for attempted murder one month after celebrity boxing event incident: report

Former Pittsburgh Steelers star receiver Antonio Brown is wanted for attempted murder.

Law enforcement in Miami-Dade County is looking to arrest Brown on a charge of attempted murder, The Washington Post reported. According to the outlet, the charge is from a shooting Brown was allegedly involved in at a boxing event in Miami last month.

Police detained the former NFL receiver after gunshots were fired at the boxing event, which online streamer Adin Ross hosted.

According to The Post, the warrant shows a charge of attempted murder with a firearm; it also instructs Brown to post a $10,000 bond and remain under house arrest until trial.

After the shooting happened, Antonio Brown clarified what happened, saying that he was 'jumped' and it was in self-defense.

"I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me," Brown wrote on X. "Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me.

"I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED. I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me."

However, in the warrant, witnesses told the police that Brown was the only shooter two shell casings were found at the scene. Another witness told police that Brown ran at him with a firearm and shot at him twice, after the fight had already been broken up.

Antonio Brown last played in the NFL in 2021 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He helped the Buccaneers win the Super Bowl in 2020.
