Wakefield is described as “the best dad ever,” by his mom, Lora Wakefield.

She said, “He’s a proud dad. When his son grows up and hears about this, he’s going to forever love his dad — no matter if he’s there or not.”

In tears,  Lora Wakefield, described her son who was visiting from Colorado with his wife, his 1-year-old son and extended relatives .

The gunman randomly shot him at an outdoor café at 14th Street and Ocean Drive.

Wakefield’s mom says. It is “a life lost. A son, husband and father gone. And a family shattered.”

According to a police report, Davis told authorities the mushrooms made him feel empowered.

Meanwhile, Tommy Davis, the suspect’s father, told The Associated Press that his son had traveled to Miami Beach with some of his friends. He said “his son has never been in trouble or had mental health issues.” No arrest record for the younger Davis could be found.

“This is an unlikely thing,” the senior Davis said. ‘We are trying to find out what happened. You can imagine we were shocked.”
