Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown pleaded guilty Friday to aggravated assault with a firearm, a reduced charge stemming from a 2025 shooting incident outside a celebrity boxing match in Miami.
The plea was entered in court on November 6, 2026, according to reports from the Associated Press and Tampa Bay Times. Brown, who was shown in court proceedings in September, faced the charge in connection with the shooting that occurred outside the boxing event.
Details regarding the specific circumstances of the shooting and the terms of the plea agreement were not immediately disclosed in the initial reports. The case had been pending since the 2025 incident, which took place amid Brown's post-NFL career activities.
Brown, a seven-time Pro Bowl selection during his NFL career, played for the Buccaneers during their Super Bowl LV championship season in 2020. His legal troubles have continued since his departure from professional football.
