Report: Antonio Brown wanted by Miami-Dade police on attempted murder charge
Antonio Brown is wanted by Miami-Dade police on an attempted murder charge, according to a warrant obtained by The Washington Post.
The charge comes from after a shooting at a celebrity boxing match in May.
The warrant was signed by a judge and, as reported by The Washington Post, 'lists a charge of attempted murder with a firearm.' It also states Brown needs to post a $10,000 bond and stay on house arrest until a trial.
Brown couldn't be reached by The Washington Post for comment, and the Miami-Dade State Attorney's office declined to comment.
Brown was briefly detained in May following an altercation at the boxing event, which was for streamer Adin Ross. According to The Associated Press, Miami police confirmed they responded to the are around 3 a.m. after they received an alert from the gunshot-detection system ShotSpotter.
The former NFL wide receiver shared on social media that he was 'jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry' and physically harm him. Brown, 36, also said he would consult with his legal team about pressing charges on the people who he alleged jumped him.
Videos of the incident circulated on social media that appears to show Brown in a fight with multiple people. He was seen apparently holding a black pistol as he pursued someone. Shots could be heard off camera shortly thereafter.
According to the warrant obtained by The Washington Post, the police had video footage from the night of the altercation that shows Brown punching a man which, 'sparked a melee.' The footage also allegedly shows Brown taking a gun from a security office before running toward the man he punched.
Detectives met with the alleged victim on May 21 who told police, according to the warrant, that 'Brown began to run toward him with a firearm and shot at him twice, possibly grazing his neck.'
When the police arrived, Brown walked away. The victim went to an area hospital for treatment, per the warrant, and told police he's known Brown since 2022.

The Unrest In California Proves Trump's Always Wanted To War
Source: The Washington Post / Getty 'If it's a lie then we fight on that lie…but we gotta fight,' —Slim Charles, The Wire. It's all been a lie. The frightening story of immigrants killing and raping Americans. The fear-mongering that immigrants are taking American jobs. The horror stories of an open border and hordes of people coming across in the middle of the night. All of it has been a lie. And yet, none of it has stopped this administration from waging a full-out war on Latinos and people of color. Currently, the military-obsessed president has turned peaceful protests into a standoff between those who don't believe people should be arrested at graduation ceremonies and court hearings against the American soldiers. As it stands, some 2,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines have been sent to California to quell mostly non-violent demonstrations against Trump's authoritarian push to 'Make America white again.' And all of it is based on lies. Lies that began under Trump's first presidency, when he claimed that illegal immigration was so bad that he wanted to build a wall and Mexico was going to pay for it. Despite that entire campaign falling flat on its face, the alarmism and fear tactics of the scary illegal stealing your job, woman, and Toyota Camry persisted. So much so that once Trump got back in office, he began a war on immigrants using his henchmen at ICE to round up people of color, whether they'd actually committed a crime or not, and have them incarcerated and deported. And all of this was built on lies. But here's the truth: Illegal immigrants make up only 3.5% of the total U.S. population, which is around 11 million people. Clearly that number is impossible to know exactly, '…the estimate essentially comes from taking the foreign-born population from census records, then subtracting the number of legal immigrants.' Around 8.1 million of these undocumented immigrants are working or looking for work, and despite using fake social security cards to secure employment, those workers who are not paid in cash pay taxes on the money they earn. 'In 2010, they contributed an estimated $10.6 billion in state and local taxes, and $13 billion in Social Security,' The Week reports. 'Contrary to common perception, illegal immigrants don't qualify for public benefits like welfare, food stamps, and Medicaid, as these programs require proof of legal immigration status.' This means that they pay into a system and receive nothing in return. Two-thirds of undocumented immigrants have been in the U.S. for 10 or more years, and some 60% of that population lives in six states: California, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois. And because Trump has waged war on immigration, the federal government spends more money trying to round up and deport those taxpayers than they do on the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Agency and the U.S. Marshals Service combined. Source: David McNew / Getty All of this is based on the myth that immigrants, especially undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at an alarming rate. However, studies have found that while immigration has increased over the years, crime rates have decreased. 'The American Immigration Council compared crime data to demographic data from 1980 to 2022, the most recent data available. The data showed that as the immigrant share of the population grew, the crime rate declined,' a study done by the American Immigration Council found. 'In 1980, immigrants made up 6.2% of the U.S. population, and the total crime rate was 5,900 crimes per 100,000 people. By 2022, the share of immigrants had more than doubled, to 13.9%, while the total crime rate had dropped by 60.4%, to 2,335 crimes per 100,000 people. Specifically, the violent crime rate fell by 34.5% and the property crime rate fell by 63.3%,' it reads. But this is personal, it always has been. Trump and his administration has labeled Venezuelans 'rapists,' 'savages,' 'monsters' and 'the worst of the worst.' This fear-mongering led to the arrest of some 238 Venezuelans who were sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. An investigation by the Texas Tribune and ProPublica found that not only had many of those deported not been convicted or even accused of crimes, but the Trump administration knew this and deported them anyway. Source: Kevin Carter / Getty Because this was never about the truth. This was always about a little man with freakishly small hands and a giant ego who was never taken seriously, in business or in politics. This has always been about the joke of a president wanting desperately to be seen as a man. It's why he's been hellbent on releasing the military. He was going to deploy a militaristic show of force because that's what bullies do. Whether it was his nonsensical, wildly-expensive showcase of army vehicles during his birthday, or the deployment of troops on peaceful protesters, the president is so far from being an emperor that someone might want to tell him. This was never about immigration; this has always been about a cartoonish heel needing an opponent, and unfortunately for America, the boy impersonating a president has set his sights on anybody in the immigrant community. And even though it's all based on lies, he's still going to ride on that.

AG Brown sues 5 WA apartments for ‘deceiving' senior tenants
The Brief Five Western Washington apartments and its management company are being sued by Attorney General Nick Brown. The lawsuit claims that the complexes have deceived its primarily low-income senior tenants. The complexes have allegedly deceived future and current tenants of rent increases, property quality, amenity quality and building safety. SEATTLE - Attorney General Nick Brown sues five apartment complexes in Western Washington he alleges "deceived" low-income senior tenants. Brown filed a complaint Friday in Snohomish County Superior Court against the apartment complexes and property management firm, FPI Management, for deceptive practices against senior tenants. What we know The following Western Washington apartment complexes are part of the lawsuit: Vintage at Everett Vintage at Mill Creek Vintage at Sequim Vintage at Tacoma Cedar Pointe Apartments FPI has been allegedly violating the Consumer Protection Act over the last several years, after the management company and the property owners failed to disclose rent increases, apartment unit quality, property safety and the quality of apartment amenities like pools and gyms. FPI markets its apartments to tenants 55 years and older who are also low-income. Brown claims that the company does not inform future tenants that their rent will be decided on Area Median Income, resulting in seniors paying more than the Social Security or pension incomes they live on. What they're saying "Housing is particularly important for older Washingtonians, and it's hard for them to move once they've signed a lease," said Brown in a statement. "It's egregious to convince vulnerable populations they're getting quality living when in reality they are stuck with properties in disrepair that also end up costing more than they expected over time." Additionally, FPI has allegedly deceived tenants of the quality of their apartment units, building quality and amenity qualities. FPI markets the quality of its buildings as "luxury" and "resort style" but photos of the buildings show broken appliances, mold, leaks and other building damage. Some amenities the apartments promised to tenants were either nonexistent, shut down or broken. The apartment complexes also raised concerns around safety, as many did not have anyone monitoring people or vehicles entering and exiting the property, which has led to trespassing, theft and vandalism. What's next Brown's complaint calls for an injunction that prevents FPI and property owners from continuing the alleged unlawful activity. It also seeks a civil penalty of $12,500 for each Consumer Protection Act violation, restitution to impacted tenants and coverage of legal costs.
