According to the investigation, the alleged victim is Zul-Qarnayn Kwame Nantambu, who claims Brown tried to shoot him with a handgun that night.

Antonio Brown himself admits that such an incident did occur, but insists it was self-defense:

"...In May, he broke into the event through the gates and approached me, trying to rob me and threatening my life. The media hasn’t reported this yet... Instead, they’re creating a false image of me. That night, I was fighting for my life, defending myself from his intentions," Brown previously stated.

Throughout his career, Brown played for teams including the Pittsburgh Steelers (2010–2018), Oakland Raiders (2019), New England Patriots (2019), and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2020–2021).
