Alachua County Sheriff\u2019s Office reported that Craig Brewer was shot and killed this past Sunday at a Waffle House restaurant located in Gainesville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the deputies, Brewer was paying for some customers\u2019 meals and passing out #20 bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigators said a female and a 25-year-old-male, Ezekiel Hicks, who was at the restaurant with the female, both got into an argument with Brewer because he did not also pay for their meals. When the argument escalated, investigators said Hicks went outside and grabbed a hand gun, went back inside, argued with Brewer again and shot Brewer in the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The argument according to the Sheriff\u2019s Office, \u201clasted only a few seconds\u201d and ended with Hicks firing multiple shots towards the victim\u2019s head, killing Brewer on the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lt. Brett Rhodenizer, an Alachua County Sheriff\u2019s Office spokesman stated regarding the altercation between Brewer and Hicks, \u201cThey feel like they were so close and just far enough away where they couldn\u2019t change the outcome.\u201d \u201cThis incident went from a verbal altercation to a homicide in minutes, if not seconds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hicks was arrested near the scene on a charge of first-degree murder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
