Former NFL star Antonio Brown has reportedly left the United States, according to statements made on his Twitter account. This development is particularly significant given that Brown is currently the subject of an arrest warrant for attempted murder with a firearm. The warrant, which surfaced 10 days ago, has not yet been acted upon, raising questions about law enforcement’s ability or intent to pursue him.
Brown’s social media post from Saturday night suggested he is no longer in the country and made a dismissive comment about child support, implying he believes his international status absolves him of that responsibility. Given Brown’s history of erratic behavior and unreliable public statements, it’s unclear how seriously his post should be taken. Nonetheless, if he has truly left the country, it could complicate any legal proceedings against him.

The warrant relates to an incident in Miami last month, where Brown initially claimed he was attacked. Authorities are investigating whether Brown escalated the situation and became the aggressor after the immediate threat had passed. This legal question is central to the charge of attempted murder with a firearm.
However, if Brown remains outside of the United States and does not voluntarily return, the case could remain in limbo indefinitely. The seriousness of the charge does not guarantee extradition or immediate legal action, especially if Brown is in a country without an extradition treaty with the U.S. Ultimately, his absence may prevent the case from moving forward.
