Crazed Man High On Mushrooms Kills Random 22 Year Old Tourist In Front Of His Baby In Miami

A 22-year-old man who shot and killed a Colorado tourist inside a South Beach restaurant says he was “high on mushrooms which made him feel empowered,” according to an arrest report.

Miami Beach police have arrested Tamarius Davis, of Norcross, Georgia, who was charged with second-degree murder with a weapon and attempted murder.

The shooting happened Tuesday evening at La Cerveceria, in the 1400 block of Ocean Drive. Killed was 21-year-old Dustin Wakefield, who was dining with his family in the outdoor patio area at the restaurant. Davis told police he “randomly chose” to shoot Wakefield, and attack another man minutes earlier on the street.

Wakefield’s uncle told the Herald that Dustin Wakefield was vacationing with his family, wife and 1-year-old son.

“This guy came in with a gun waving it, saying it’s time to die. He pointed the gun at his son and Dustin said, ‘He’s only a boy,’” said Mike Wakefield, who was not in South Beach but heard the account from his family. “Dustin stood up between the gunman and the baby and he shot him. He shot him multiple times on the ground.”

Video posted by WSVN FOX-7 showed the man believed to be Davis dancing, while holding the weapon, outside the Ocean Drive restaurant.
