Antonio Brown is a wanted man.
The controversial former NFL star is being sought for arrest by police in Miami-Dade County on an attempted murder charge related to a shooting that happened outside a celebrity boxing event last month, the Washington Post reported Thursday.
A judge signed the warrant Wednesday and it listed a charge of attempted murder with a firearm.
The Miami-Dade state attorney’s office did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
The Post attempted to reach out to an email address listed on Brown’s social media account and did not immediately hear back Thursday night.

The warrant called for Brown to post a $10,000 bond and be placed under house arrest pending a trial, according to the report.
The incident occurred just after midnight May 16 in the Little Haiti neighborhood of Miami, and Brown initially was detained by police and released hours later.

Brown claimed at the time he had been jumped in an attempted robbery outside a Brand Risk boxing event hosted by streamer Adin Ross.
Footage posted on social media detailed the chaotic scene as Brown appeared to be engaged in a fight with several men before falling.
The footage later showed him kicking a man on the ground before it cut to sounds of what people said were shots being fired.
Another video showed Brown in handcuffs being led away by police, but he later was released.
According to the warrant, bystanders in the parking lot told police Brown was the shooter, though no weapon was found on the ex-football player when they patted him down.
A pair of spent shell casings and an empty gun holster were found by police, the warrant stated.
Detectives with Miami police later obtained video that showed Brown punching another man, which kicked off the fracas, and it later appeared to show him taking the gun of a security officer before moving toward the person Brown had punched, WaPo reported the warrant stating.
Cellphone video recorded two gun shots occurring when Brown approached the victim and showed him ducking, while the warrant also stated the victim told police Brown “began to run toward him with a firearm” after the initial fight was stopped.

The person identified Brown on surveillance footage and told investigators he had known him since 2022, according to the report.
Brown played 12 years in the NFL, nine of which were spent with the Steelers, with stints with the Patriots and Buccaneers at the tail end of his career.
The wide receiver — who was released by the Bucs at the end of the 2021-22 season after ripping off his pads and jersey on the sideline during a game against the Jets — has been a lightning rod of controversy since he ended his playing career in 2021 with bizarre posts on his social media along with a slew of legal issues that included allegedly exposing himself to a woman in a hotel in Dubai.
He also faced a battery charge in 2022 related to a domestic incident.
In February, he posted an alleged half-naked photo of Keyshia Cole on his X account.
