Antonio Brown Extradited and Arrested in Miami Shooting Case
Antonio Brown has been extradited from Dubai to the United States and arrested in connection with a Miami shooting, according to the Miami Herald. Police spokesperson Mike Vega confirmed the former Tampa Bay star's detention.
“Miami Police confirm that U.S. Marshals have apprehended Antonio Brown and that he has been extradited to the US. No date has been set for his transfer to Miami-Dade County,” said Vega, as reported by NBC News.
Background of the Case
Brown was wanted for several months regarding a shooting on May 16 outside an amateur boxing event in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood. Video footage from the incident showed Brown allegedly involved in a fight when multiple gunshots were fired.
At the time, Brown was briefly detained but released without charges. However, in June, authorities issued a warrant for his arrest when Brown did not surrender himself after being offered the chance with a $10,000 bond and house arrest conditions.
Pending Charges and Trial
His trial is expected to begin soon, and Brown could potentially face a murder charge related to the shooting.
