Authorities are reportedly searching for former Pittsburgh Steelers superstar wide receiver Antonio Brown, seeking to arrest him for attempted murder.
According to a warrant reviewed by The Washington Post on Thursday night, Miami-Dade County law enforcement officers are looking to arrest Brown for attempted murder after an incident last month.
During a celebrity boxing event in Miami last month hosted by streamer Adin Ross, Brown was allegedly involved in a shooting. The warrant, obtained by The Washington Post, indicates that Brown has been charged with attempted murder with a firearm. The warrant instructs Brown to post a $10,000 bond and to remain under house arrest until trial.
In a video posted to social media after the event, Brown was seen fighting with several people, and he was detained by police after gunshots were fired at the event. Brown was released shortly after he was initially detained and he offered an explanation on social media at the time.
"I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me," he wrote on his X account. "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."
Despite his claims, the warrant states that witnesses told police officers that Brown was the shooter. The man who fought with Brown in the video told police that Brown "began to run toward him with a firearm" after the fight had already been broken up and shot at him twice.
A seven-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro, Brown spent 12 seasons in the NFL, playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During that time, Brown emerged as arguably the most dominant receiver in the league, leading the NFL in receptions twice, receiving yards twice, and touchdowns once.
