People provided further context into Brown’s charges and extradition.
Former NFL player Antonio Brown, who was wanted in connection with a Miami shooting earlier this year, has been extradited to the U.S. where he will stand trial for the alleged crime.
Brown was taken into custody in Dubai by the U.S. Marshals Service and brought to Essex County Correctional Facility in New Jersey on Thursday, Nov. 6, a police spokesperson confirmed with PEOPLE.
He is now expected to be moved to Miami, Fla., to face a charge of second-degree attempted murder with a firearm stemming from the May shooting.
“Following a thorough investigation … Antonio Brown (AB) has been identified as the shooter,” the Miami Police Department wrote in a statement to PEOPLE. “This is just another example of the relentless work and dedication of Miami Police Detectives, working closely with Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office, and U.S. Marshals to identify and arrest those who commit crimes in the City of Miami.”
A warrant was issued for his arrest in June following the shooting — which allegedly happened on May 17 after a celebrity boxing event hosted by streamer Adin Ross.
Video footage posted to X allegedly showed Brown fighting with several people before the group moved to a nearby alley. Brown could be seen running toward the group while holding something in his hand seconds before a loud sound resembling gun shots is heard, PEOPLE previously reported.
In other angles, bystanders reacted.
“Oh my God, he has a gun,” one individual said just before the apparent gunshots were heard.
Brown was seen in handcuffs after the incident, but no arrests were made at the time because police could not locate a victim, WPLG reported.
Here’s a video of Brown committing the alleged crime:

Last year Brown hit the campaign trail in Pennsylvania and was invited to speak at one of Trump’s events, per Fox News:
One night after he spoke at a Donald Trump rally, former NFL receiver Antonio Brown was spotted in Pittsburgh outside the stadium he used to call home with the Steelers, passing out “Trump Vance” yellow and black towels to fans before “Sunday Night Football.”
The former president is expected to be in attendance at Acrisure Stadium on Sunday night as the Steelers take on Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets.
And Brown, who took the stage for a speech in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, where he mocked the Democrat candidates, nominee Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz, continued to show his love for Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, with “Terrible Towels” featuring their names on it with the election less than a month away.
Brown was wearing a black hat that had Trump’s signature “Make America Great Again” slogan across it, which comes after he wore a similar red hat and MAGA shirt during the rally on Saturday.
Steelers Nation still holds love for Brown after he grew into a superstar receiver with them after being drafted out of Central Michigan in 2010.
