If you looked at Antonio Brown’s timeline on X, you would never know that the Pittsburgh Steelers great is wanted on an attempted murder charge.
The charge Brown is facing stems from his involvement in an altercation at a celebrity boxing event in Miami hosted by streamer Adin Ross last month.
Video showed Brown getting into a fight with multiple people, and gunshots could clearly be heard in the background of the video after the fight ended. At the time, it wasn’t exactly clear who fired those shots, though.
Brown was initially put in handcuffs but was released shortly after. Now, the former Steelers wide receiver is wanted for attempted murder and has yet to turn himself in.
“The warrant, which was signed by a judge Wednesday, lists a charge of attempted murder with a firearm and calls for Brown to post a $10,000 bond and remain under house arrest pending trial,” The Washington Post’s David Ovalle reported.
“Efforts to reach Brown, 36, were unsuccessful Thursday evening; it was unclear whether he was represented by an attorney. A spokesman for the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office declined to comment.”
While all this is going on, Brown remains full speed ahead on X, where he is always very active.
Since news of the charge broke, Brown has posted multiple tweets, including one in which he hints he’s in the Middle East (warning: Brown’s X timeline is NSFW). It isn’t clear if he’s telling the truth or just trolling, though.
The video shows Brown looking like he doesn’t have a care in the world as he rides a bike through the street.

As tumultuous as Brown’s career was in the NFL, he definitely hasn’t been any less controversial after it.
You need not look any further than his aforementioned X timeline, and he has even had a previous run-in with the law that saw him plead no contest to battery and burglary charges.
Brown spent 12 years in the NFL and is widely considered one of the best receivers of his generation. However, his attitude led to him being radioactive for teams, which led to an early end to his career.
