Controversial former NFL star Antonio Brown is wanted on attempted murder charges over a shooting<\/a> that took place at a celebrity boxing event in May.<\/p>\n

Brown , 36,<\/a> is accused of firing two shots during a brawl between two groups of people in Miami\u2019s Little Haiti airport, according to a warrant seen by The Washington Post.<\/a><\/p>\n

The warrant was signed on Wednesday by a judge in Miami-Dade County.<\/a> It calls for a $10,000 bond and house arrest for Brown pending trial.<\/p>\n

Brown has yet to comment on the charges.<\/p>\n

A security guard from the event told police that he saw Brown physically confronting another man outside the venue. Multiple witnesses also told police that Brown fired two shots, according to the warrant.<\/p>\n

Investigators are quoted in the warrant as saying surveillance video shows Brown assaulting a man, which caused a larger brawl. At one point, Brown grabbed a security guard\u2019s gun and ran towards the man he initially attacked, police allege. The victim ducks as Brown allegedly fires two shots, the video shows.<\/p>\n

Five days after the incident, the victim told police that after the first physical encounter, Brown \u201cbegan to run toward him with a firearm.\u201d The man said that one of the bullets grazed his neck. He was treated at a local hospital for his injuries.<\/p>\n

The victim said that he has known Brown since 2022.<\/p>\n

Last month, a video posted to social media showed Brown involved in a fight with several people at a boxing event hosted by popular streamer Adin Ross. He was seen apparently holding a black pistol as he pursued someone. Shots could be heard off camera shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n

Additional video showed Brown, hands behind his back, being escorted from the venue by an officer.<\/p>\n

Brown posted on social media that he had been \u201cjumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED,\u201d Brown wrote.<\/p>\n

Brown\u2019s statement did not mention the gunshots.<\/p>\n

Brown played for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 2010 to 2018, where he emerged as one of the NFL\u2019s top receiving threats and twice led the league in receiving yards. His career took a downturn because of various on- and off-field issues, including his contract being voided by the Oakland Raiders before the start of the 2019 season.<\/p>\n

He split his final three NFL seasons with New England and Tampa Bay, and his career ended with Brown stripping off his jersey, pads, and gloves while walking off the field during the Buccaneers\u2019 2021 regular-season finale against the New York Jets. Brown announced his retirement a few months later.<\/p>\n
