🚨 Arrest Warrant Issued For Antonio Brown
Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown is back in the headlines—but this time, it’s not for football.
Miami-Dade authorities have issued an arrest warrant for attempted second-degree murder following a violent incident outside a boxing match in the Little Haiti neighborhood of Miami.
According to the warrant signed Wednesday, Brown is accused of firing a gun at a man during a chaotic altercation on May 16.
The charge comes with a $10,000 bond, and as of Friday, the 36-year-old has not turned himself in.
🥊 What Happened Outside The Boxing Match?
The incident took place outside an amateur boxing event where Florida Highway Patrol officers were working off-duty as security.
Witnesses told police they heard gunshots outside the venue and quickly reported it.
When officers responded, they reportedly detained and patted down Antonio Brown—but he wasn’t armed at the time.
Brown took to X (formerly Twitter) the next morning to declare his innocence, claiming he was jumped by several individuals trying to rob him.
He wrote:
“I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me. Contrary to some video circulating, police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me.”

However, things took a serious turn when investigators reviewed security footage from the venue.
According to the arrest warrant:
Brown allegedly punched another man, sparking a brawl.
He was then seen taking a firearm from a security officer and approaching the same man.
Cell phone video captured two gunshots during the incident, and the victim was seen ducking after the first shot.
The man, who positively identified Brown as the shooter, suffered a grazing wound to his neck and was treated at a local hospital.
Authorities later recovered two shell casings and an empty holster from the scene.
