Antonio Brown, the former NFL superstar, is back in the United States after being arrested and extradited from Dubai. Brown, 37, is facing serious charges following an alleged attempted murder incident at an influencer boxing event in Florida earlier this year.
What Happened
Antonio Brown has been extradited back to the U.S. from Dubai, where he was reportedly attempting to evade American legal authorities. The 37-year-old former wide receiver was arrested after he was allegedly involved in a violent altercation at a boxing event hosted by influencer Adin Ross in Florida in May 2025. Brown is accused of trying to shoot and kill a man, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, during the event.
According to reports, the altercation escalated when Brown allegedly snapped and attempted to shoot Nantambu with a handgun. Brown, however, maintains that he was acting in self-defense, claiming he was protecting himself from individuals attempting to jump and rob him.
Extradition and Legal Proceedings
Brown was accompanied by federal agents when he was extradited to the U.S. and transferred to local authorities in the New York Metropolitan Area. He is now scheduled to be sent back to South Florida, where the incident took place. Brown is expected to face charges of attempted second-degree murder with a deadly weapon and will likely be held at the Miami-Dade Department of Corrections.
The alleged shooting incident has shocked both his fans and the sports community, adding to a long list of controversial incidents involving Brown since his departure from the NFL.
What’s Next
Brown’s legal team is expected to mount a defense, but he faces serious charges that could result in significant legal consequences. His arrest and return to the U.S. mark a significant development in a case that has drawn widespread attention due to his high-profile career and the shocking nature of the allegations.
