Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown is in serious trouble with the law. Last month, Brown was detained by police when he appeared to fire a gun during an altercation outside of Adin Ross’ boxing event in Miami.

After the event, Brown claimed a group of people jumped him and was not arrested by police.

The Washington Post is reporting that the Miami-Dade police have filed an arrest warrant for Brown and are accusing him of attempted murder.

According to the warrant, Miami police detectives later obtained video footage that appears to show Brown punching another man, sparking a melee, and the footage later shows Brown appearing to take the gun of a security officer and running toward the man he had punched. According to the warrant, cellphone video captures two gun shots as Brown approaches the victim and includes the victim ducking.

On May 21, according to the warrant, detectives met with the alleged victim, who told them that after the initial fight had been broken up, Brown “began to run toward him with a firearm” and shot at him twice, possibly grazing his neck.

Brown is currently at large and can’t be located by the police.

“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. 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.”
