Antonio Brown’s downward spiral continues.
The former NFL receiver Brown is wanted by police in Florida’s Miami-Dade County on a charge of attempted murder, David Ovalle of The Washington Post reported on Thursday. The charge stems from a shooting at a celebrity boxing event in May.
A warrant, which was signed by a judge on Wednesday, is now out for Brown’s arrest. The formally listed charge is attempted murder with a firearm, and the warrant calls for Brown to post a $10,000 bond and remain under house arrest pending trial.

Indeed, video had emerged last month of the seven-time Pro Bowler Brown, now 36 years old, getting involved in a large fight after a Miami celebrity kickboxing event put on by the popular internet streamer Adin Ross. The video, which can you can see here, appeared to show Brown getting tackled to the ground by multiple unidentified individuals and responding by kicking one of those individuals.
Brown was briefly handcuffed and detained by responding police officers amid the melee but was ultimately not placed under arrest. Reports did emerge, though, of shots being fired, allegedly by Brown, during the incident.
In the wake of the episode, Brown posted to his X page that he was “jumped by multiple individuals” who were attempting to steal his jewelry. Brown added that he would be pursuing legal action against his assailants.
