A man is facing serious charges after allegedly holding a victim at gunpoint over slide sandals purchased at a Miami-Dade mall last Friday.
Miami-Dade police reported that the incident took place around 8 p.m. at Southland Mall, located at 20505 S. Dixie Hwy.
According to authorities, the victim, accompanied by a friend, had just bought slide sandals at the mall when Cameron Jecoby Collier, 22, of Miami, approached them. Collier then reportedly pressed a gun against one of the victims and demanded, “Give me that.”
As the friend fled to seek help, the victim was held down by another individual while Collier allegedly pistol-whipped him, causing severe head injuries, an arrest report stated.
Afterward, Collier allegedly stole the victim’s sandals, debit card, and keys before fleeing in a black sedan.
Following a traffic stop on Saturday, Collier was detained for bench warrants and other charges. Detectives later confirmed his identity through a photographic lineup conducted by the victim.
Collier waived his right to counsel after being read his Miranda Rights, but before requesting a lawyer, the interview was terminated, his arrest report states.
According to jail records, he faces charges of armed robbery with a firearm or deadly weapon and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
