"According to an arrest warrant, Brown is accused of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer after a celebrity boxing match on May 16 and firing two shots at a man he had gotten into a fistfight with earlier. The victim, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, told investigators that one of the bullets grazed his neck. Eiglarsh said Brown was simply protecting himself from a person he had problems with before."
""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," Eiglarsh said. Brown was not immediately arrested that night because initially police did not identify Nantambu as a victim. 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 says."
Antonio Brown returned to Miami to face a second-degree attempted murder charge stemming from a May 16 shooting, and his lawyer filed a written not guilty plea. Jail records show Brown was released from Essex County for transfer to Florida after waiving extradition from New Jersey following his arrest in Dubai. An arrest warrant alleges Brown grabbed a handgun from a security staffer after a celebrity boxing match and fired two shots at a man he had earlier fought; the victim said one bullet grazed his neck. The lawyer says Brown acted in self-defense. Police did not initially identify the victim until May 21. Based on social media posts, Brown had been living in Dubai. A conviction could carry up to 15 years and a $10,000 fine.
