Former Steelers’ Antonio Brown Wanted for Attempted Murder
PITTSBURGH — Former Pittsburgh Steelers star Antonio Brown is currently in trouble with law enforcement in another incident following his playing days.
Miami-Dade County police are seeking to arrest Brown with a charge of attempted murder, following a shooting incident last month, according to David Ovalle of The Washington Post.
The warrant states a charge of attempted murder with a firearm and both a $100,000 bond and house arrest for Brown pending the trial. A judge signed off on the warrant on June 11.
A boxing event in the Miami neighborhood of Little Miami is the site of the incident, according to the warrant.
Officers went to the scene following gunshots fired outside the venue on May 16. An off-duty officer who worked the event, departed after the gunshots and said that he saw Brown fighting with another man.
People in the parking lot near the venue told the officers that Brown was the shooter, according to the warrant. Officers then patted down Brown, finding no weapon, but did find an empty gun holster and two spent shell castings.
Police released Brown later that night and he reportedly went on social media, talking about how he was “jumped” with people trying to steal his jewelry.
Miami police detectives secured video footage, which shows Brown punching another man, starting a fight and then taking the gun from a security officer and running at the man he hit. The warrant also says that cellphone video shows Brown going towards the victim and then that victim ducking.
Detectives also met with the alleged victim, who said Brown shot at him twice and possibly grazed his neck. That man went to the hospital for his wounds and identified Brown on surveillance footage.
Brown spent nine seasons with the Steelers from 2010-18, with four First Team All-Pro honors from 2014-17 and a Second Team All-Pro honor in 2013. He also earned seven Pro Bowl nods and led the NFL in both receiving yards and receptions in 2014 and 2015.
This is just one of many incidents that Brown has gotten himself into during his time following his unofficial retirement from the NFL in 2022.

About 5 pounds of bees removed from Acrisure Stadium scaffolding ahead of Morgan Wallen concerts
Acrisure Stadium is buzzing with excitement ahead of the back-to-back Morgan Wallen concerts. Except it’s not the fans generating all the excitement — it’s about 5 pounds of honeybees.
The Fine Family Apiary in Monongahela said it was contacted on Wednesday about a swarm of bees clustered on the stage scaffolding. The apiary put the swarm in a “nuc box” and took them home before moving the bees into full-size equipment.
Owner Al Fine estimates the swarm weighed about 4 to 5 pounds and consisted of 12,000 to 15,000 bees. All said, it took less than two hours to get the job done.
Why do bees swarm?
Swarming is how honeybees propagate, Fine explained. According to Penn State Extension, during swarming, the queen and about half the workers leave their home to establish a new nest. The bees will form a temporary cluster, hanging out while scouts search the surrounding area for a more permanent home in hollow spaces like tree cavities or, occasionally, the walls of a home.
Swarms can stick around for several hours or days until they’re ready to move, Penn State Extension says. Meanwhile, the colony left behind is temporarily without a leader until a new queen is established.
With the swarm at Acrisure Stadium removed, Morgan Wallen’s show is ready to go on. The country music megastar will bring his I’m The Problem Tour to Pittsburgh on June 5 and June 6, along with multiple acts like Brooks & Dunn and Ella Langley.
On Sept. 17, multi-platinum country music star Luke Bryan will bring his Farm Tour to 1846 Farms near Latrobe.
Westmoreland County is no stranger to large outdoor concerts. Some may remember the Rolling Rock Town Fair in the early 2000s, while others may recall Luke Bryan’s stop at a farm in South Huntingdon Township just two years ago. Now the country music superstar is returning to the area.
The Unity Township farm’s general manager, Aleisha Stas, gave KDKA a tour of the family farm, which dates back to before the Civil War. She says Bryan’s team first reached out after finding the farm on social media, but she says at first, she and her family thought it was too good to be true.
“This was around April Fools, so we thought it was an April Fools prank,” Stas said. “My whole family, we were like, there’s no way this is about to happen. But this has been incredible.”
Stas says Bryan’s team is handling everything logistically from parking and bathrooms to deciding exactly where the concert will be staged.
“If we have it on this side of the property, we can hold 12,000 people,” Stas said. “And if we have it on (the other side) of the property, it can be up to 20,000. But we have not determined that yet.”
Many of those decisions will be made as September gets closer. In the meantime, however, the farm is holding off on planting in certain fields until the final concert location is selected.
And while hosting thousands of people may sound a little intimidating, Stas says her family is excited to welcome fans to the farm for what they hope will be a memorable night.
“Obviously, we’ve never had this many people here before, so it will be a new thing for all of us, but we are not worried,” said Stas. “Luke Bryan’s team are experts with this, and I think it will go great.”
Tickets for this concert are currently on sale, and they will run you about $77 per person, plus tax for general admission.
