“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 his uncle, Mike Wakefield, per the Miami Herald. “Justin stood up between the gunman and the baby and he shot him. He shot him multiple times on the ground.”
According to the arrest report, David admitted to being “high on mushrooms” when he killed Wakefield, who was on vacation from Castlerock, Colorado. David said the hallucinogens “made him feel empowered.”
David has been charged with second-degree murder with a weapon and attempted murder.
“I’m angry and disgusted by the horrific shooting yesterday of Dustin Wakefield,” said Miami Beach mayor Dan Gelber in a statement. “Though it appears it was entirely random, that does not make it any less shocking or provide any solace to his young family.”
Wakefield’s uncle has set up a GoFundMe campaign to help raise funds to support his nephew’s family.
