MIAMI -- A spokesperson for the Miami Police Department told ESPN Friday that former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has not turned himself in or been arrested on a charge of attempted murder.

The charge stems from a shooting Brown was allegedly involved in during a celebrity boxing event in Miami last month. The warrant, reviewed by The Washington Post, shows a charge of attempted murder with a firearm; it also instructs Brown to post a $10,000 bond and remain on house arrest until trial, according to The Post.

Police released Brown after a few hours, and he posted an explanation to social media the following day.

"I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me," he wrote on his X account. "Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED. I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me."

According to the warrant, witnesses told police officers that Brown was the shooter, and two shell casings were found at the scene. Brown was unarmed at the time he was detained, but the man he allegedly punched during the altercation told police that Brown "began to run toward him with a firearm" after the fight had already been broken up and shot at him twice.
