Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown is now the subject of a second‑degree attempted murder warrant tied to a shooting outside a celebrity amateur boxing event hosted by streamer Adin Ross on May 16, 2025 in Miami.
What the allegations say
- According to Miami‑Dade officials, Brown is accused of engaging in a fight during the event, grabbing a firearm from a security guard, and firing at a man identified as Zul‑Qarnain Kwame Nantambu — with at least one bullet grazing his neck.
- The warrant lists “attempted murder with a firearm” as the charge and sets a bond at $10,000.
- Brown was earlier detained by police at the scene but released hours later. He later posted to social media claiming he was robbed and falsely accused. Investigation into whereabouts and next steps remains ongoing.
Why this matters
- Brown was once one of the most decorated receivers in the league, earning multiple All‑Pro nods and a Super Bowl title. This development threatens his legacy and future career opportunities.
- The incident underscores the risks when celebrity events, weapons and altercations converge — particularly under public scrutiny and legal jurisdiction.
- From a legal perspective, attempted murder charges carry severe potential penalties if proven, including significant prison time and fines.
What to watch next
- Whether Brown turns himself in, gets extradited (if outside the U.S.), or remains at large and subject to further warrants or arrests.
- The outcome of law‑enforcement investigation: Is there security‑camera footage, witness statements, ballistic data? How strong is the case?
- How Brown’s legal team responds: will they file motions to dismiss, claim self‑defense, argue lack of intent?
- Potential impacts: NFL or sports‑business reactions, sponsorship fallout, and public‑image consequences for Brown.
