A father visiting Miami, Florida, died after being shot inside a restaurant by a suspect who was high on mushrooms.

FOX 13 reports that 21-year-old Dustin Wakefield was with his family inside La Cerveceria restaurant when 22-year-old Tamarius Blair Davis Jr. allegedly walked in and shot him.

Wakefield died as a result.

The arrest report shows that Davis explained his alleged actions by pointing out that he “was high on mushrooms, which made him feel empowered.”

WSVN notes that Wakefield and his family live in Colorado and were just visiting Miami.

WSVN pointed out that Davis allegedly targeted another man too, but the second would-be victim was not injured.

The Miami Herald posted video of Davis’s arrest. Davis can allegedly be heard saying, “I did it, I did it, I did it,” in the video.

WARNING GRAPHIC:


FOX 13 spoke to a witness who claimed Davis actually stepped on top of Wakefield after shooting him.

The witness said, “He started dancing on top of the guy. I don’t know why.”
