""Brown is back at the Essex County Jail in Newark where he is awaiting pick up by Florida authorities," said Carmen Martin, spokeswoman for the Essex County Prosecutor's Office. 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 one of the bullets grazed his neck."
""Cellphone video obtained from social media showed Mr. Brown with the firearm in his hand advancing toward Mr. Nantambu on the outside walk. The video captures two shots which occur as Mr. Brown is within several feet of Mr. Nantambu," the arrest affidavit says. "The video also captures Mr. Nantambu ducking after the first shot is heard." Brown was not immediately arrested that night because initially police did not identify Nantambu as a victim."
Antonio Brown, 37, was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Dubai and brought to an Essex County, New Jersey, jail after waiving extradition to Florida. He faces a second-degree attempted murder charge alleging he grabbed a handgun from a security staffer and fired two shots at Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu following a May 16 boxing match, with one bullet reportedly grazing the victim's neck. Cellphone video reportedly shows Brown advancing with the firearm and firing while within several feet of the victim. Police did not initially identify the victim; Nantambu gave a full statement on May 21. Brown posted that he acted in self-defense after being jumped and targeted for jewelry.
