Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown is currently wanted in Miami-Dade County on a criminal charge of attempted murder stemming from a shooting outside Adin Ross’ Brand Risk 7 boxing event in Miami, Fla., back on May 16 (watch HERE).
This is according to a report by The Washington Post, which reviewed the warrant for Brown’s arrest.
In case you forgot, Brown was caught up in quite the scuffle this past May when he was “jumped” for his jewelry outside of a Miami boxing event hosted by his good pal Ross. Video footage went viral as Brown appeared to fight multiple people off during a brief melee. Afterwards, Brown looked to have grabbed a hold of a gun and fired off two shots. He was arrested that night, but released just a few hours later.
Brown claimed he didn’t remember what happened because his CTE made him “blackout.”
The warrant was issued on Wednesday and includes a criminal charge of attempted murder with a firearm. The judge called for Brown to post $10,000 bond and remain under house arrest pending trial. Brown has yet to issue a statement or turn himself in to authorities.

According to the warrant, officers responded to a report of gunshots being fired outside of the venue shortly before midnight May 16. When they arrived, an off-duty officer working security at the event said he left the venue after being told of the sound of gunfire, according to the warrant, and said he then observed Brown involved in a physical altercation with another man.
Patrons in the parking lot told officers that Brown was the shooter, according to the warrant, which also states that Brown had no weapon on him when officers patted him down. Investigators found two spent shell casings and an empty gun holster, according to the warrant.
According to the warrant, Miami police detectives later obtained video footage that appears to show Brown punching another man, sparking a melee, and the footage later shows Brown appearing to take the gun of a security officer and running toward the man he had punched. According to the warrant, cellphone video captures two gunshots as Brown approaches the victim and includes the victim ducking.
On May 21, according to the warrant, detectives met with the alleged victim, who told them that after the initial fight had been broken up, Brown “began to run toward him with a firearm” and shot at him twice, possibly grazing his neck. The two struggled over the gun before police arrived and Brown walked away, the warrant said. The man left and went to Aventura Hospital for treatment of his injuries. The man identified Brown on the surveillance footage and said he has known him since 2022, according to the warrant.
