A vigil in Miami Beach on Tuesday thought of a young father who was shot dead while on vacation last week.
The vigil took place across from La Cerveceria on Ocean Drive, where 21-year-old Dustin Wakefield was shot dead on August 24th.
“It was a cold-blooded murder, and visions of it are heartbreaking,” said one resident who read a message on behalf of the family at the vigil. “He was an angel on earth, a perfect son, husband and father. And my son didn’t deserve to be so dehumanized.”
NBC 6’s Ryan Nelson spoke to the victim’s uncle on the phone about his young family.
Wakefield visited South Florida from Colorado.
According to witness statements, the gunman ran into the restaurant and shot Wakefield, killing him at the table in front of his family.
The police arrested a 22-year-old Tamarius Blair Davis who was said to have shot at another person indiscriminately on the same day.
According to a police report, the suspect confessed to the shooting and said he was rich in mushrooms, which “made him feel empowered”.
