Brown was wanted for several months related to a shooting that occurred on May 16 outside an amateur boxing event in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood. Video footage showed the former NFL player allegedly involved in a fight when multiple gunshots were fired.
At the time, Brown was briefly detained but released without charges. In June, a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was given a chance to surrender with a $10,000 bond and house arrest conditions but did not comply.
His trial is expected to begin soon, and he may face murder charges.
Just last week, the 37-year-old former wide receiver posted a sponsored video on Instagram promoting an online betting site, BC Game. In the clip, Brown was driving a black Lamborghini and appeared relaxed.
“In the clip, Brown was seen driving a black Lamborghini at an undisclosed location, flashing a carefree attitude.”
