Antonio Brown allegedly seen holding gun during Miami Melee as shots ring out

Send Push
Controversy continues to follow former NFL star Antonio Brown, who was caught on camera allegedly brandishing a firearm during a wild brawl outside a Miami boxing event hosted by streamer Adin Ross. The incident, which erupted Friday night, has since gone viral, raising fresh concerns about the ex-wide receiver’s erratic post-football behaviour.

In footage obtained by TMZ, Brown is seen walking through a crowd when he suddenly sprints off—his hand raised in a motion suggesting he may be holding a gun. Moments later, gunfire echoes through the area, sparking panic among onlookers. Although it remains unclear whether Brown fired the shots, the timing has prompted questions, and police are now investigating.

The chaos followed a separate altercation outside the venue, where Brown reportedly got into a physical fight. Bystander videos show him being tackled to the ground, lashing out with a kick, and eventually being handcuffed by responding officers. However, he was released roughly 20 minutes later without any formal charges.

Brown later addressed the incident on social media, alleging he was jumped by a group attempting to rob him of his jewelry. He claimed he was defending himself and clarified that he was not arrested. Notably, he made no mention of the apparent firearm or the shots heard.

Miami police confirmed that their ShotSpotter system detected gunfire in the area around 3 a.m., though no injuries or arrests were reported. Authorities are actively reviewing the footage and continuing their investigation.

This latest incident adds to Brown’s long list of off-field controversies since leaving the NFL. Once celebrated for his on-field brilliance with the Pittsburgh Steelers and later the Buccaneers, Brown has since made headlines more for brushes with the law than athletic feats.

As the investigation unfolds, all eyes remain on Brown, whose silence on the gunfire has only deepened the mystery surrounding the explosive Miami showdown.
