Controversial former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown is being sought by authorities on an attempted murder charge in Florida.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that Florida law enforcement had been unsuccessful in locating Brown. The alleged incident took place at a charity boxing event in May.

The warrant, which was signed by a judge Wednesday, lists a charge of attempted murder with a firearm and calls for Brown to post a $10,000 bond and remain under house arrest pending trial. Efforts to reach Brown, 36, were unsuccessful Thursday evening; it was unclear whether he was represented by an attorney.
The alleged altercation took place May 16 in the Little Haiti area of Miami. Gunshots were heard outside the venue and an off-duty police officer working security happened upon the scene. The report says the officer saw Brown in a physical altercation with another man.
The warrant says people told police officers Brown was the shooter. Brown had no weapon on him when he was patted down. Two empty shell casings were found and an empty holster.
This is a developing story.
