After being charged with attempted murder in Miami, Fla., former NFL wideout Antonio Brown shared a bizarre message on his X/Twitter account:
On Thursday evening, multiple media reports stated that the former All-Pro wide receiver was wanted for attempted murder following a shooting outside of a celebrity boxing match in Miami.
According to Curt Anderson of the Associated Press, Antonio Brown is accused of grabbing a firearm from a security guard and firing two gunshots at a man with whom he had gotten into a physical altercation. The charge carries a max prison sentence of 15 years and a fine worth as much as $10,000, per Anderson.
After news of the attempted murder charge against Brown broke, the 36-year-old posted two photos of himself flexing in boxing gloves with a caption reading, “What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger Wanna play? Then play hard.”

The attempted murder charge is the latest concerning off-the-field issue involving Brown, whose legal problems and troublesome behavior led to the end of his once-flourishing NFL career. Brown last played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2021 season.
