Update:

On Thursday, Miami Dade police issued a warrant for the arrest of former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown. Brown is being accused of attempted homicide. As the manhunt continues, Brown has emerged on social media with some odd messages.

“What doesn’t kill me…” Antonio Brown’s bizarre message amidst manhunt

The incident that led to Brown’s warrant occurred in May. At the time, police had responded to a call reporting gunfire in which Brown was involved. Brown told police he’d acted in self defense and was released.

However, recent video emerged as well as the statement from the victim that indicate Brown struck a man, took a security guard’s gun, and fired twice at the victim. One bullet grazed the victim’s neck and he was sent to Aventura Hospital.

Now, Brown has been accused of both punching and shooting the victim. As the police search for him, Brown has been active on social media, apparently not caring that there is a manhunt for him.

Brown also posted a picture of a man with the caption: “This cracker did it wasn’t me”

Fans reacted to the posts, reminding Brown that he is a wanted man - in case he forgot.

Bigger things to worry about right now AB!” said one fan.

“DAWG GET OFF THE GRAM AND START RUNNING,” another fan said.

“FYI Cops looking for you... keep an eye out,” said another.

Brown is being ordered to pay a $10,000 bond before he’ll be able to go under house arrest.
