Report: Former NFL star Antonio Brown wanted on attempted murder charge after Miami shooting incident
Former NFL star Antonio Brown is wanted on an attempted murder charge related to a shooting outside a celebrity boxing event in Miami last month, The Washington Post reported.
According to a warrant reviewed by the Post, Brown is accused of firing two shots during an altercation outside a venue in the Little Haiti neighborhood on May 16.
Surveillance and cellphone footage allegedly show Brown punching a man, taking a gun from a security officer and firing as he chased the individual.
The victim told police Brown grazed his neck with a bullet and later identified him in the video. Brown was initially detained but released later that night.
The warrant calls for Brown to post a $10,000 bond and remain under house arrest if arrested.
Brown, 36, a former All-Pro wide receiver, has a long history of off-field issues, including previous arrests, civil suits and erratic behavior. His NFL career ended in 2021 after a dramatic mid-game exit from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Woman critically injured in Harmar Township hit-and-run crash
A woman in Harmar Township was critically injured in a hit-and-run crash on Thursday night. Police said the victim was crossing Freeport Road when the driver of a dark-colored sedan hit her before driving toward the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Authorities said the 28-year-old woman was using the crosswalk on Freeport Road at Alpha Drive around 10:15 p.m. when she was hit. The driver was traveling north and hit the victim in the right lane, officials said. An employee of a nearby restaurant said she saw the crash and called 911. The victim was taken to a local hospital, and she remains in critical condition as of Friday evening. Detectives are looking at surveillance video from businesses in the area to help identify the driver. They say the car has damage to the front corner panel on the passenger side. Several people KDKA talked to off-camera on Friday said it is a dangerous intersection, and even though pedestrians have the right-of-way, they still need to use extra caution because drivers do not always stop. If you have any information about the hit-and-run or recognize the dark-colored car, call the Harmar Township Police Department.

DHS turns tables on Elizabeth Warren after calling for Noem to resign: 'Trying to revise history'
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., joined the chorus of Democrats criticizing Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem after Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., was stopped by Secret Service agents after interrupting a DHS press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday. "It's time for Republican Senators to speak up. We need an independent investigation of this," Warren said on MSNBC's "All In with Chris Hayes" on Thursday night. "It is also time for Kristi Noem to resign. She needs to resign," she added. Padilla was briefly placed in handcuffs and kicked out of the room by the Secret Service after he entered the press conference and attempted to ask the secretary a question in the middle of her remarks. He identified himself by name as a senator, but he was not wearing a security pin during the incident, according to the FBI. "Everything is on camera—Warren is trying to revise history on Senator Padilla's embarrassing conduct, but Americans can see with their own eyes," Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated. "Senator Padilla entered a high-security federal facility under false pretenses and crashed an invite-only press conference as law enforcement are working around the clock to calm violent riots," McLaughlin continued. "There's no excuse for busting into a press conference and interrupting it. Had Senator Padilla asked for a meeting, Secretary Noem would have happily obliged, which she graciously did for 15 minutes after the press conference." Padilla tried to manufacture a viral moment and it's embarrassing & disrespectful to law enforcement," she added. The Democrat and Noem did end up having a brief meeting where they exchanged phone numbers. Fox News reported that Noem described the meeting as "cordial and beneficial," and Padilla's office said it was "civil." The press conference addressed the civil unrest in the Los Angeles area as Immigration and Customs Enforcement continues to arrest illegal immigrants. "The Senator met with Secretary Noem this afternoon. He raised concerns with the deployment of military forces and the needless escalation over the last week, among other issues. And he voiced his frustration with the continued lack of response from this administration," Edgar D. Rodríguez, Deputy Communications Director for Padilla, posted to X. "It was a civil, brief meeting, but the Secretary did not provide any meaningful answers. The Senator was simply trying to do his job and seek answers for the people he represents in California," he added. Other Democrats, like California Sen. Adam Schiff and Rep. Eric Swalwell, have called on Noem to step down. Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski condemned how the incident was handled, whereas others, like sports commentator Stephen A. Smith, slammed the incident on his show, hypothetically asking Padilla, "You couldn't wait?"
