A new video obtained by CBS News Miami shows an altercation take place before former NFL star Antonio Brown<\/a> is accused of grabbing a gun and opening fire after a celebrity boxing match<\/a> in Miami last year.<\/p>\n

The video shows Brown standing with a group of people when a man dressed in black approaches them.<\/p>\n

There’s then a brief exchange, and it appears as though Brown takes the first swing. At least two other people are then seen joining in on the scuffle.<\/p>\n

Security is then seen trying to break the fight up, and Brown is then allegedly seen kicking at a security guard.<\/p>\n

Moments later, Brown is seen walking around a white SUV, and when he emerges on the other side, he allegedly is seen pulling out a gun and runs toward the alleged victim.<\/p>\n

The victim said one of the bullets allegedly grazed his neck<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brown has since been charged with attempted second-degree murder with a firearm.<\/p>\n

Brown faces up to 30 years in prison<\/a> if he’s convicted. <\/p>\n

Last month, his attorney asked a judge to dismiss the case citing Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The attorney argued that Brown believed that the alleged victim intended to cause him serious harm.<\/p>\n

“The actions he was forced to take were solely in self-defense against the alleged victim’s violent behavior. Brown was attacked that night and acted within his legal right to protect himself,” Brown’s lawyer, Mark Eiglarsh, had said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The next hearing is scheduled for April.<\/p>\n

What happened when Antonio Brown allegedly opened fire?<\/p>\n

Brown is accused of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer after a celebrity boxing match in Miami on May 16, 2025, and firing two shots at a man he had gotten into a fistfight with earlier, according to an arrest warrant.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu told investigators that one of the bullets grazed his neck.<\/p>\n

Brown was not immediately arrested that night because initially police did not identify Nantambu as a victim.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It wasn’t until May 21 that Nantambu gave a full statement about the incident to police and identified Brown as the shooter, the affidavit states.<\/p>\n

Brown spent 12 years in the NFL<\/a> and was an All-Pro wide receiver who last played in 2021 for Tampa Bay<\/a>, including a Super Bowl championship with quarterback Tom Brady<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He spent much of his career with Pittsburgh<\/a>. For his career, Brown had 928 receptions for more than 12,000 yards and accounted for 88 total touchdowns, counting punt returns and one pass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new video obtained by CBS News Miami shows an altercation take place before former NFL star Antonio…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":110465,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[25181,265,123,125,124,1064,10365,807],"class_list":["post-110464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-antonio-brown","tag-crime","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-miami-dade","tag-national-football-league","tag-south-florida"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110464\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
