Several videos from the night during which ex-NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown allegedly fired a gun in Miami following a boxing match and brawled with several individuals, leading to an arrest warrant being issued for attempted murder with a firearm, have started to circulate again on social media.
Brown, 36, claimed at the time he had been jumped in an attempt to steal his jewelry following a Brand Risk boxing event hosted by streamer Adin Ross.
Two videos posted in a compilation by NFL aggregator on X @NFL_DovKleiman showed the former Steelers star brawling with several individuals outside a building, with Brown falling to the ground during the ruckus. He kicked a man after rising from the ground before another man attempted to calm him down.
Warning: Unsettling videos
Brown ran behind several cars during the skirmish.
A third video in the compilation displayed a large group of people standing around in the aftermath before several people attempted to run away after what appeared to be gunshots ringing out.
The person filming the clip stated, “Shots is crazy,” while another compilation of videos posted May 17 at 6:30 a.m. ET from X user @ONLYinDADE showcased a longer video of the reaction to the alleged gunshots in which the person behind the camera said: “Shots were fired.”
That video collection also featured a shirtless Brown being escorted by an officer with his hands behind his back — seemingly wearing handcuffs — toward a cop car.
A third clip from that video featured Ross talking to Brown after the incidents, with Brown stating “nothing happened” when asked about what transpired and claimed that he “blacked out.”
Brown clarified on May 17 that he had not been arrested, and TMZ reported he was let free 20 minutes later.
“I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me. Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me,” Brown wrote on X.
“I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED. I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me. I will keep you all posted step-by-step on the process. Thank you for the support and love.”
The City of Miami police department said in a May 17 release that it received a ShotSpotter Alert around 3 a.m. on May 17, but no arrests had been made, nor had anyone been injured.
The arrest warrant states an off-duty officer told the police he heard gunshots and saw Brown in a melee with another man, according to The Washington Post.
Those in the parking lot informed police that Brown had fired the shots, but the warrant also notes that Brown did not have a weapon on him when officers searched him.
The warrant states investigators discovered two spent shell casings plus an empty gun holster, per the report.
Officers later received videos allegedly showing Brown taking a gun from a security officer and running toward the man he had hit, according to The Washington Post.
Cell phone video “captures” two gunshots as Brown moved toward the man, per the report.
The man told police on May 21 that Brown “began to run toward him with a firearm” and shot him twice, potentially hitting him in his neck area.
Brown and the man — who said he’s known the former NFLer since 2022 — reportedly fought for control of the gun before Brown exited, and the man went to Aventura Hospital.
The arrest warrant reportedly lists a $10,000 bond and for Brown to remain under house arrest pending a trial.
Brown did not respond to The Post’s attempt to reach him Thursday night via the email listed on his social media account.
The mercurial receiver starred in the NFL from 2010-21, mostly playing for the Steelers before appearing in one game for the Patriots and finishing his career by playing two seasons for the Buccaneers.
He has since become a controversial figure for his X posts.
