Former NFL receiver Antonio Brown is the ⁣subject of an arrest warrant in Miami-Dade County, Florida, facing​ a ⁤charge⁤ of attempted murder. The warrant,‍ reviewed by The Washington Post, stems from a shooting that allegedly occurred during a celebrity boxing event last​ month.

The warrant specifies ​a charge of ​attempted murder with a firearm. it also stipulates that Brown must ⁢post a $10,000⁢ bond and remain under house arrest until his trial, according ‍to the Post.

The incident occurred at an event hosted by streamer⁤ Adin Ross. Following an altercation captured on social media,gunshots ​were heard.‍ Brown was ‌briefly detained ⁣but later ⁢released, subsequently posting an clarification on X, formerly Twitter.

Brown ​claimed he ‍was attacked by multiple individuals attempting to steal ‌his jewelry ⁣and cause him harm.He stated that police released him after hearing his ⁣account and that he was not arrested that ​night.

However, according to the warrant, witnesses⁢ identified Brown as the shooter. Two shell casings‍ were recovered from the scene. The man Brown ‌allegedly punched told ⁢police that after the fight was ​broken up, Brown ran toward⁢ him with a firearm and fired twice.The⁤ man also identified Brown ​from surveillance footage and​ stated he has ⁤known him as 2022.

Brown played for the Tampa bay Buccaneers for two ‍seasons, winning ‌a Super Bowl. However,⁣ his NFL career‍ effectively ended ‍when he walked off the field mid-game in 2021.
