“Florida officials have determined that a concealed carry permit holder who fatally shot a man earlier this year acted in self-defense — and a newly released surveillance video showed how the scary scene unfolded.
The clip from a Fort Myers Waffle House showed the shooter, 28-year-old Jehrardd Williams, sitting in the restaurant about 2:40 a.m. Jan. 5. Williams was legally carrying a .40-caliber Smith and Wesson pistol, the News-Press reported, and employees knew him as a frequent customer.
But Williams was “immediately verbally confronted by a group of males who were drunk,” the News-Press said, citing a report from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. The most aggressive was Dakota Fields, 24, who brought beers into the restaurant and had removed his shirt.
The report noted Williams recalling Fields saying, “I am talking to both of you (n-words)” when addressing him and a Hispanic customer; Williams and the other man ignored the remarks. Fields abruptly exited the restaurant after employees told him to leave, the report added.
The video showed a friend of Fields, identified as Robert Black, shaking the Hispanic man’s hand — but when he tried that with Williams, it was a no-go, and Williams was seen shaking his head back and forth in refusal.”
