Fugitive NFL Star Antonio Brown Arrested After Extradition from Dubai
6 Nov
Summary
- Antonio Brown, former NFL star, arrested on attempted murder charge
- Accused of shooting at a man at a boxing event in Florida last May
- Fled to Dubai, but extradited back to the US and now in custody
As of November 6th, 2025, former NFL star Antonio Brown is in US Marshals custody after being extradited from Dubai on an attempted murder charge. Brown was accused of trying to shoot and kill a man at a boxing event in Florida last May, but had been evading authorities by staying in Dubai, as seen in his social media posts.
The Miami-Dade County police have wanted Brown on an attempted second-degree murder charge since June 2025. If convicted, he could face up to 15 years in prison. The shooting victim, Zül-Qarnaįn Nantambu, claims Brown was the instigator and shot at him, possibly in response to a legal battle between the two over a valuable pendant that Brown allegedly stole.
Nantambu says a bullet grazed his neck and he broke a finger during the confrontation. He believes Brown called security on him to create a false pretense for the shooting, potentially to avoid paying a $123,600 judgment Nantambu had previously won against him in federal bankruptcy court. Brown has denied Nantambu's allegations, but the former NFL star's legal troubles continue to mount.
