Florida man shot dead after paying for other customers' meals at Waffle House

[Madmallard]

A good Samaritan was killed at a Florida Waffle House during an "altercation" that was allegedly sparked by his own good deeds.

Craig Brewer, 41, was fatally shot in the head around 3 a.m. on Sunday after picking up the tabs of several customers at the restaurant's Gainesville, Fla., location, according to the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.

Brewer had allegedly been going around the eatery paying for others' meals and handing out $20 bills when a woman who was at the Waffle House with shooting suspect Ezekiel Hicks, 25, became angry that the victim's generosity didn't include their table, the Gainesville Sun reports.

That's messed up.

The State will now cover Ezekiel's meals, and housing, and provide him with a cozy room.
I hope his roommate is not the type that likes to cuddle afterwards.

Oh man, the cops almost made it in time. Was the shooter an otherwise law abiding citizen or did he have his gun illegally?

The second link states that Mr. Hicks faced drug charges in 2017 but avoided jail time after undergoing a pretrial diversion program.

“What we’re trying to find out in the days ahead is if this was truly a verbal argument that turned into a murder case or if there is something missing there,” Rhodenizer said.“
