    Miami: Officer kills naked attacker chewing man's face

    Officer kills naked attacker chewing man's face


    Updated 16h 1m ago

    MIAMI (AP) – A Miami police officer on Saturday fatally shot a naked man who was chewing on the face of another man on a downtown causeway off-ramp, police and witnesses said.

    The Miami Herald reports that gunshots were heard at about 2 p.m. on the MacArthur Causeway off-ramp, which is near the newspaper's offices. Witnesses said that a woman saw two men fighting and flagged down a police officer, who came upon a naked man mauling the other man. The newspaper quoted witnesses as saying that the officer ordered the naked man to back away, and when he ignored the demand, the officer shot him. Witnesses said that the naked man continued his attack after being shot once, and the officer shot him several more times.

    Police said the other man was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital Ryder Trauma Center. The newspaper said he had suffered critical injuries.

    The police department confirmed in a news release that there was an officer-related shooting, but did not include many details provided by witnesses to the newspaper.

    A police spokesman couldn't be reached for comment by the Associated Press on Saturday evening.

    The police news release said the identities of the two men were not known.

    A photograph posted on The Herald's website shows an officer standing watch on the ramp next to two police cruisers, with a body lying on a pedestrian walkway. Police requested the newspaper's video surveillance tapes.

    The shooting and investigation tied up causeway traffic as crowds were arriving at South Beach for an annual hip-hop festival.

    Javier Ortiz, a spokesman for the Fraternal Order of Police in Miami, said that based on information he's received, the officer who fired the shots "is a hero and saved a life."
    "Slavery is the daughter of darkness; an ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction; ambition and intrigue take advantage of the credulity and inexperience of men who have no political, economic or civil knowledge. They mistake pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism, vengeance for justice."-Simón Bolívar

    SURVEILLANCE VIDEO: CANNIBAL ATTACK IN MIAMI



    Published on May 27, 2012 by IncrediblyRacist

    It was a scene as creepy as a Hannibal Lecter movie.

    One man was shot to death by Miami police, and another man is fighting for his life after he was attacked, and his face allegedly half eaten, by a naked man on the MacArthur Causeway off ramp Saturday, police said.

    The horror began about 2 p.m. when a series of gunshots were heard on the ramp, which is along NE 13th Street, just south of The Miami Herald building.

    According to police sources, a road ranger saw a naked man chewing on another man's face and shouted on his loud speaker for him to back away.Meanwhile, a woman also saw the incident and flagged down a police officer who was in the area.

    The officer, who has not been identified, approached and, seeing what was happening, also ordered the naked man to back away. When he continued the assault, the officer shot him, police sources said. The attacker failed to stop after being shot, forcing the officer to continue firing. Witnesses said they heard at least a half dozen shots.

    Miami police were on the scene, which was just south of The Miami Herald building on Biscayne Boulevard. The naked man who was killed lay face down on the pedestrian walkway just below the newspaper's two-story parking garage. Police have requested The Herald's video surveillance tapes.

    The other man was transported to the hospital with critical injuries, according to police. Their identities were not released.

    The incident, which came as crowds descended upon South Beach for the annual Urban Beach Week hip-hop festival, snarled traffic on the causeway for several hours.

    In a text message, Javier Ortiz, spokesman for Miami police's Fraternal Order of Police, said the officer who fired the fatal shots was "a hero."

    "Based on the information provided, our Miami police officer is a hero and saved a life,'' he said.

    Sergeant Altarr Williams, supervisor of Miami police's Homicide Unit, said a man doesn't have to be armed to be dangerous.

    "There are other ways to injure people,'' Williams said. "Some people know martial arts, others are very strong and can kill you with their hands.''

    Investigators believe the victim may have been homeless and laying down when the crazed man pounced.

    Police theorize the attacker might have been suffering from "cocaine psychosis," a drug-induced craze that bakes the body internally and often leads the affected to strip naked to try and cool off.

    Miami Herald writers Alexandra Leon and Curtis Morgan contributed to this report.

    I just dropped a mate off at Miami airport saturday @1500. Would have driven right past it but didn't notice anything. Then again, around here you hardly blink an eyelid at a dozen cop cars converged on a scene. Quite common.

    You see some weird stuff at the intersections, I don't think there is one where some bum/crack head isn't begging for money. I saw one guy passed out in a wheelchair on the footpath face up in the sun, he was red as a lobster.

    Not 100m down the road was a woman sleeping at a bus stop in the sun but she was black so didn't look red. Must have been 90 deg out.

    I'm not a fan of gun ownership but if I lived here I would definately have one in the car with me like most people here do.

    Thank christ I am flying back to Thailand this week.

    Real-life Hannibal Lecter ate face of naked homeless man

    Here you go Harrybaracuda, another one of your innocent retards.


    Rudy Eugene in an undated mug shot





    This is the face of the naked homeless man who was gunned down by a Miami cop while eating the face of another nude man.
    Rudy Eugene, 31, appears smug and defiant in an old police mug shot shown on a TV news station Monday night.
    The real-life Hannibal Lecter was shot to death Saturday in one of Florida’s most bizarre crimes.
    MAN FIGHTS TO LIVE AFTER FACE IS EATEN BY NAKED ATTACKER IN MIAMI
    His victim, an unidentified homeless man, was clinging to life at a Miami hospital Monday.
    His face was reported to be barely identifiable as that of a human.
    Eugene's criminal record showed he was arrested several times in the last few years, but none involved a violent crime. The only exception was when he was 16, when he was slapped with a battery charge.

    I'm not sure that Hannibal Lecter ate any ones face.

    Pedantism (is that a word?) aside, what an awful thing to do to someone. Glad he got shot.

    Harry thinks that if you're mentally ill you should be treated accordingly.

    In the UK that might mean going to Broadmoor: Broadmoor Hospital - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    That's no walk in the park. I guess the hard part is judging who is sick and who is just bad. I havn't got much of an opinion on it to be honest mate, but, one way or another he'll be off the streets.

    The victim of the vicious attack has been identified as 65-year-old Ronald Poppo, who remains in critical condition at Ryder Trauma Center.: Victim in ghoulish flesh-eating attack on the MacArthur Causeway identified - Miami-Dade - MiamiHerald.com




    Ronald Poppo had a hard-knock life on the streets.

    A homeless drinker who had been shot once and arrested two dozen times, he is fighting for his life at the Ryder Trauma Center after a 15-minute cannibal attack cost him parts of his face. At 65, he’d been homeless for almost four decades.

    His hardscrabble existence took a volatile turn Saturday afternoon, when he encountered Rudy Eugene, a 31-year-old former North Miami Beach High School football player who liked to smoke marijuana and hoped to start his own mobile car wash business.

    Eugene died in a hail of police bullets, and will be forever remembered as the Miami Zombie.

    It’s unclear what brought the two unlikely characters together on the MacArthur Causeway. Poppo was known for hanging out under the bridge; Eugene liked to go to the South Beach on Memorial Day Urban Beach Week.

    A Miami Herald video showed Eugene on the Miami end of the MacArthur Causeway, naked and in an apparent drug-fueled rage. He forced Poppo’s clothes off and then began mauling him as horrified drivers watched and a surveillance camera rolled.

    “Rudy was not not a face-eating zombie monster,” said classmate Victoria Forte.

    Eugene, 31, was positively identified as the man who went on a crazed rampage Saturday on the MacArthur Causeway. Witnesses said a naked Eugene mauled Poppo’s face and was stopped after several blasts from a Miami police officer’s gun.

    The story of the flesh-eating beast in Miami quickly went viral, as such news-of-the-weird tends to do. But those who knew Eugene say they were stunned to learn of Eugene’s involvement, because the description of the enraged cannibal gunned down in broad daylight bears no resemblance to the person they knew. Friends remember his radiant smile and friendly nature.

    “Classmates from Naples, Orlando to Miami cannot get over this,” Forte said. “There’s been an overwhelming response. We are going to do our part as his friends to not let him go down like this. The Rudy we know was a nice gentleman with a warm smile and funny. He’s not like that at all.”

    Eugene must have been on some kind of drug that made him take a fast downward spiral, she said.

    Cassandra Metayer agreed.

    “This is not his character,” said Metayer, who went to middle school and high school with Eugene.

    “This type of behavior is very unexpected,” she added. “He was a good person, a true friend. He was a nice, outgoing ready-to-help-anybody kind of guy.

    “I’m not just saying that; he really was that person,” she added, remembering the time he moved furniture for her relatives by himself.

    Metayer said Eugene, the son of Haitian immigrants, grew up in North Miami Beach. He was a football player who Forte said was best known for cracking jokes and a warm smile.

    In 2005, he married Metayer’s cousin, Jenny Ductant, in Hollywood. They divorced two years later. Metayer said the two split because they had taken different paths in life, particularly as Ductant continued her education and Eugene did not.

    Eugene, she said, worked in customer service.

    The couple’s 2007 divorce record shows he had no income, and his assets included $2 cash and $50 for a cell phone.

    His former wife agreed to take on the couple’s debt, which included the power and phone bills.

    “I don’t want to talk about it,” Ductant said Tuesday when reached by phone. Metayer said Eugene wasn’t known to use drugs or have mental problems.

    “He loved his family, loved his friends,” Metayer said. “It had to be drugs; someone in their right mind doesn’t do that. This is not the act of a normal person. It has to be someone under the influence.”

    Florida Department of Law Enforcement records show Eugene was arrested by Miami Beach police on a battery charge when he was 16, but the case was dropped.

    Records show he was arrested seven other times over five years. Court records show that one was for misdemeanor battery, one was for vending near a school, one was for trespassing and four involved marijuana.

    His last arrest was in September 2009. In January, the charge was dropped.

    His death unfolded Saturday afternoon at the foot of the exit ramp to the MacArthur Causeway that spills out onto the Miami Herald parking area.

    Security Guard Christian Alvarez, 36, patrols the Herald lots for U.S. Security Associates. On Saturday, he was on golf-cart patrol at the east end of the visitor parking lot when he says he heard four or five gunshots.

    He drove the cart to the roof of the parking garage and “saw two guys laying down. One had his face all damaged and bleeding, but he was still alive.”

    Alvarez heard the victim moaning and saw him trying to sit up. The dead man appeared to have three or four gunshot wounds to his back, he said.

    Alvarez said that the way rescue personnel handled the injured man bothered him.

    Herald security guard Leonard Nicanor was in the employee-entrance security booth about 2:15 when Alvarez called to say he’d heard gunshots. The parking garage camera was not aimed at that exact spot, but at 2:17, Nicanor turned the camera toward the scene and watched on the monitor inside the booth.

    “I saw police activity,” he said. Then he zoomed in and saw “bodies,” and kept the camera there.

    He sent Alvarez to the top of the parking garage.

    Photos taken at the scene showed Poppo, who is believed to be homeless, was left with gruesome injuries.

    He has a record of at least 24 arrests going back to 1978, mostly for drinking in public and trespassing, but also a handful of felony arrests for burglary, assault and resisting arrest.

    The record suggests that he’s been on the streets a long time: He was arrested for sleeping in public in 1983.

    Similar sort of effects as PCP on the morons that use this shit..

    Reminds me of the (internet legend) guy high on PCP that sliced his own face off and fed pieces to his dogs. The story was copied in one of the Hannibal Lecter films.

    While I certainly don't care that the cop shot the guy, isn't it for cases exactly like this that the cops all carry stun guns/tasers? If you're going to interrupt dinner, you could be polite about it.

    I suspect if it was drug induced and had they not had to shoot him to stop him killing the bloke (NOT the same as the other case where he'd already done the damage and was corralled in a bus), then this one would have been an attempted murder case.

    Toxicology tests will doubtless prove one way or the other. I see the American's have already dubbed him the "Causeway Cannibal".

    Bless 'em.

    Exclusive New Details: Causeway Cannibal Rudy Eugene’s Last Hours

    May 29, 2012 11:15 PM

    Causeway Cannibal






    MIAMI (CBS4) – Days after a naked Rudy Eugene attacked homeless man Ronald Poppo along the MacArthur Causeway, made a meal of his face, and was shot to death by police, we have learned more about what got him to the point of the attack, but little about what turned him into a growling cannibal who brutally attacked a man police believe was a total stranger.
    The information, confirmed by two police sources to CBS4 News Investigative Reporter Jim Defede, provides insight to Eugene’s day leading up to the attack, but little help in understanding his sudden, sickening descent into cannibalism at the edge of the MacArthur Causeway.
    At 2 a.m. on the day he would die Eugene was at his girlfriend’s house in Miami Gardens. She told police he seemed strange, going through his clothes and her clothes in a mania. Suddenly he announced he was going to leave, and drove to a friend’s house in NW Miami-Dade.
    By 6 a.m., police said Eugene wanted his friend to come with him to Miami Beach and check the scene at Urban Beach Weekend, where 200 thousand people had gathered to party for Memorial day. When the friend said he had to work, police said Eugene went on his own.
    Police know he parked the car illegally, and then was unable to get it started so he could move it. CBS4′s sources said Eugene abandoned the car, which was later towed at the city’s request.
    Things get fuzzier at this point. There are no details about what Eugene did after he abandoned his car, but police believe he made the decision to cross the causeway on foot, a hike of a little more than 3 miles.
    It was a hot day, with temperatures in the 90′s, and a long walk. Somewhere between 1 and 1:30, police sources said, Eugene began his trek. As he walked, they said he started stripping, leaving his clothes on the walkway and in the road.
    Cops found his drivers license and clothes strewn from the beach to the mainland.
    Had he not abandoned his car, Eugene likely would have driven right past the spot along the causeway under the elevated track of the MetroMover where he met Robert Poppo about 2 p.m.
    Instead, on foot, he ran into the 68 year old homeless man, who police believe he’d never seen until that moment. It was at that point that police believe Eugene set in motion the events that led to his death at the hands of police and Poppo’s gruesome mutilation.

    In images captured on a security camera mounted on the Miami Herald building, you can see what appears to be Eugene, now totally naked, attempting to strip the pants off Poppo as he attacked the man.
    At that point, what police know is a blank until they started to get reports of a man attacking another man. One cyclist who rode past the fight flagged down an officer, and said a naked man was biting another man.
    On the same security camera, you can see the officer drive up, get out of the car, and casually walk to where the two men were fighting, obscured from the camera view by the train track. Suddenly, the officer does a double take, pulls his gun, and aims it.
    The head of the Miami Fraternal order of Police said the officer saw Eugene stripping the flesh from Poppo’s face with his teeth and ordered Eugene to stop. Eugene growled at the cop and continued to eat, Aguilar said, so the officer shot him.
    When the shot had no effect, Aguilar said, the officer continued to shoot until Eugene’s cannibalistic meal stopped. Eugene was dead, and Poppo was left half naked in the street, his face a ruin. He was hospitalized and, according to CBS4 sources, has been unable to tell police anything.
    While police now believe they know what happened, CBS4 sources say they simply don’t know what caused Eugene to attack Poppo, and more importantly, what caused him to turn cannibal.
    Eugene, a former high school football player in the late 90s who married and was divorced in 2007, is believed to have had some tough financial times.
    CBS4 sources said he was autopsied over the weekend by the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner’s office, which reportedly found nothing unusual. Toxicology screens which test for drugs and chemicals in the blood and body take much longer to complete, so police don’t know if drugs played a part in his maniacal rage and descent into cannibalism.
    Results could take between two weeks and two months. Until then, the mystery will linger. Police are working under the theory that Eugene was under some kind of drug-induced psychosis, but at this point, it’s just a theory.
    Poppo, who has a long record of homelessness and petty crime in Miami-Dade county, has tubes in his body and cannot speak. Sources tell CBS4 there is cautious optimism he will survive, a man with no home, and now, no face.

    The word you're looking for is pedantry, and I'm pretty certain just pointing that out makes me pedantic.

    Keep your chin up, mate.

    He is in good hands at Jackson (Trauma and Critical Care Services at Miller School of Medicine). He will get the best of care that South Florida can offer.
