Former NFL player Antonio Brown’s legal situation has worsened after new police body-camera footage surfaced on Friday, shedding light on a violent altercation tied to his attempted murder charge in Miami. The incident stems from a May 17 fight at a celebrity boxing event that escalated into gunfire.

According to authorities, the video contradicts Brown’s claim that he was attacked by multiple individuals attempting to steal his jewelry. The footage shows Brown involved in a confrontation with a man outside the venue before the situation turned physical. Security guards moved in to break up the fight. During the chaos, one guard fell to the ground, and Brown was seen kicking him while standing over him.

Investigators allege that Brown then struggled with the fallen security guard and took possession of a firearm. He, then, chased the man he had been fighting and fired shots as the crowd fled. The sound of gunfire caused panic as bystanders ran.

Brown also left the United States shortly following the incident. This adds to the legal issues. Authorities say he refused to return and was later located due to his social media activity. He was extradited from Dubai in November and brought back to the U.S. to face charges.

Brown’s attorney has claimed that the former NFL wide receiver fired warning shots using his personal firearm. However, the newly released video does not appear to support Brown’s version of events and is expected to play a major role if the case goes to trial.

Brown now faces an attempted murder charge, one of the most serious legal challenges of his life. If convicted, he could receive a prison sentence of up to 20 years.

Antonio Brown granted limited travel while facing possible sentence

Antonio Brown has been granted court-approved travel permission as he continues to face an attempted murder charge in Florida. A judge allowed the former NFL wide receiver to travel to Tampa for pre-approved business commitments, despite concerns about flight risk.

As part of the ruling, Brown is permitted to remove his GPS monitoring device during the trip temporarily, provided it is reattached upon his return to Miami. Court documents state the travel is tied to scheduled business work, including meetings with a luxury car rental company and music recording sessions.

Brown has pleaded not guilty. His legal team is also seeking to have the charge dismissed under Florida’s self-defense law.
