Former CMU, NFL Star Antonio Brown Arrested on Attempted Murder Charge in Miami
Antonio Brown, former Central Michigan University and NFL player, has been arrested on an attempted murder charge, confirmed by Miami Police. The incident occurred on May 16, following a celebrity boxing event in Miami.
Details of the Incident
During the event, shots were fired after Brown was briefly detained. At the time, Brown took to social media, stating he had been “jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me.”
“Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED,” Brown wrote.
In June, the Associated Press reported that Brown was later named in an arrest warrant. He is accused of taking a handgun from a security staffer and firing two shots at a man he had fought with earlier. The victim told investigators that one bullet grazed his neck.

“Let this serve as a clear message; no matter who you are or where you run, we will pursue the facts, identify you, locate you, and bring you to justice,” Morales wrote.
