Antonio Brown was accused of attempted murder in Miami and the victim said he feared for his life during the gunfire.
Antonio Brown is facing an attempted murder charge after allegedly firing a gun during a confrontation outside a celebrity boxing match in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood on Thursday (May 16), leaving one man terrified for his life.
The incident, captured on both surveillance and cellphone footage, reportedly shows Brown punching a man, seizing a security guard’s firearm, and firing two rounds while chasing the individual.
Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, grazed by a bullet, later identified Brown as the shooter after reviewing video evidence.
Nantambu, who says he has known Antonio Brown since 2022, told the cops he feared he would be killed during the altercation in documents obtained by The New York Post.
“He thought he would get a free kill,” Nantambu said, referencing Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law. “He plays gangster and plays the police at the same time, then he blames CTE.”
Nantambu has a long and contentious history with the former NFL wide receiver. He previously accused Brown of stealing a custom pendant during a 2022 trip to Dubai.
According to court filings, Antonio Brown allegedly lied to police in the United Arab Emirates, resulting in Nantambu’s brief detention. Nantambu won a $968,960 judgment, but the case was tossed.
“I don’t know if [Brown] premeditated a thought in his mind, like: ‘Okay, I’m gonna say that he tried to take my chain and I’m gonna kill him and I don’t have to pay him his judgment,’” Nantambu told Daily Mail.
Brown is out on a $10,000 bond. His legal troubles stretch back years.
He settled a rape lawsuit in 2021, was arrested for assault in 2020, and was caught falsifying COVID-19 vaccination records in 2021. He filed for bankruptcy in 2024.
