Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown shared a bizarre message on his X/Twitter account, one day after being hit with attempted murder charges in Miami, Florida.
On Thursday evening, multiple media reports stated that the former All-Pro wide receiver was wanted for attempted murder following a shooting outside of a celebrity boxing match in Miami.
According to Curt Anderson of the Associated Press, Antonio Brown is accused of grabbing a firearm from a security guard and firing two gunshots at a man with whom he had gotten into a physical altercation. The charge carries a max prison sentence of 15 years and a fine worth as much as $10,000, per Anderson.
After news of the attempted murder charge against Brown broke, the 36-year-old posted two photos of himself flexing in boxing gloves with a caption reading, “What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger Wanna play? Then play hard.”

Shortly after the May 16 incident, Antonio Brown claimed on X that multiple people “jumped” him and attempted to steal his jewelry. Brown said he was briefly detained and not arrested, and that police let him go once he gave his side of the story.
Regarding the boxing event that happened last night. I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me. Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me.…

The attempted murder charge is the latest concerning off-the-field issue involving Brown, whose legal problems and troublesome behavior led to the end of his once-flourishing NFL career. Brown last played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2021 season.
The seven-time Pro Bowler isn’t in custody, and his exact whereabouts at this time are unclear. Anderson also reported that there’s no mention of an attorney for Brown in the arrest warrant.
