This crazed lunatic was literally ripping chunks off the victim's face, ate an eyeball, and took multiple gunshot's without hesitation before finally getting killed by Miami PD. The victim is still in critical condition at the time of this posting and is unlikely to make any substantial recovery.
There has been much speculation though as to WHAT drug the man has consumed...ranging from PCP, Cocaine, LSD, or new designer drugs like Bath Salts.
The media is sensationalizing the dangers of Bath Salts, repeating what others have said, without ANY evidence and not doing ANY investigation into what else it could be.
It is my opinion the culprit is actually Datura AKA Angel's Trumpet, please read through my post below on why I came to this conclusion.
While browsing through Erowid I came across a few user experiences of Scopolamine. There are different ways to find/consume it and Brugmansia grows wildly all over Florida!
What is Scopolamine?
It is among the secondary metabolites of plants from Solanaceae (nightshade) family of plants, such as henbane, jimson weed and Angel's Trumpets (Datura or Brugmansia), and corkwood (Duboisia).
Although scopolamine is sometimes portrayed in the media as a dangerous drug, its anticholinergic properties give it some legitimate medical applications in very minute doses. An example is the treatment of motion sickness by use of a transdermal patch.

Like LSD and PCP Mixed with Insanity
"It was 12:00 am the second night, the watch commander opened the cell to check on me at change of shift. I leapt from flat on my back like a cat and bit him so bad he had to go on work comp then retire. After that, they called me the biter. All the time I was in the padded cell I thought I saw pills all over the floor. I kept eating the pills hoping to come down. I thought there was a bowl of valiums in the middle. It was really the crap hole in the rubber room. Gross.
They took me upstairs the 3rd day to a medical unit. I thought I had a long sword stuck down my pant leg. I was walking with a stiff leg and the cops kept asking why I was walking funny. Over the next 12 hours my toilet was singing do-wop, my towel was Popeye’s kid Sweetpea swinging around the bars, and I was stuck in a standoff between the Hells Angeles and the Black Panthers. I must have killed a dozen men with my sword.
The third night I was afraid to move because I would set off a war and I was right in the line of fire. I lay frozen for at least 10 hours. The Black Panthers kept throwing dead cats into my cell."

The Zombie-Drug
"+3 hours: The walls are breathing, objects are swirling about and taking on living forms, making for a generally nightmarish scenario. Subject has NO INSIGHT WHATSOEVER; these are REAL HALLUCINATIONS, unlike the fanciful visions and distortions that one obtains on indoleamine psychelic drugs. Terrifying.
+4 hours and onwards: Muscles are so weak that even lifting a finger seems to take superhuman strength. Subject feels an oppressive force pinning him down on the bed, paralyzing him. Visual field is completely obscured by various living forms and blurry splotches. Throat is parched; tongue feels sandy. Subject does not know where he is; does not know whether he is even awake or dreaming, does not konw who he is; does not know why he feels so shitty; etc. Subject pledges his soul to the demon who is sittig on him in exchange for a refreshing drink of water. The demon takes his soul, doesn't provide the agreed-upon water. Subject resigns himself to eternal damnation."

3 Weeks In Its Reality
"I grabbed a fly spray bottle and began spraying flea infested areas. The interesting thing was that individual fleas dropped to the floor and died after coming into contact with the spray. I could fully interact with every hallucination. I lay in bed for a while watching white doves swoop back and forth, pecking one another (I’m not sure if they were fighting or playing). They morphed into huge spiders, then again into insects, then, I noticed a red dog tearing a chickens head off a few feet in front of me. I reached out to touch them but my hand went straight through.
Deep into the trip I become aware that I could move inanimate objects without the use of physical contact. Telekinesis seemed perfectly normal in Brug reality. With only a pointed finger I could shift (real) dog toys from one side of the hallway to the other. Each toy had a colourful trail as it drifted across the carpet. 14 hours after ingestion I go to sleep in the living room (there were too many insects in the bedroom)."

Went to Jail and the Hospital
"I ended going down to the Psych Ward at.. I think it was about 4:00am. I stayed in there for 4 days tripping my fucking balls off. I awoke from my sleep the next morning to see bugs crawling out of the light above me; I didnt mind and I just laid there. I then thought I was in my room at my house and my friend was sitting on the foot of the bed staring at me, I then relised I was smoking a cigarette and when I noticed this it and my friend disappeared into thin air! this happend about 3 or 4 times sometimes i could make the cigarette and my friend disappear like a magic trick. I have to say that 4 months before this experience i had to go to rehab in Hilo.
I Have to say I have used shrooms,acid, salvia, LSA plenty of other drugs in my lifetime. Id say this was the strongest trip of my life and I will remember this forever. I would have to agree with everyone else i am not going to use this again and I WARN YOU that this is serious shit, assassins used this and Datura alike for a poison to KILL PEOPLE"

People are so quick to point the finger at designer drugs and even drugs like marijuana which are proven safer than Alcohol.
Little do they know it is a common garden plant which is very hardy and can grow most places. It grows wild all over North America...please watch the video below to identify what this is and how to avoid it.
All parts of Datura plants contain dangerous levels of poison and may be fatal if ingested by humans or other animals, including livestock and pets.
The best tactic to take in handling something like this if it starts attacking, is to gather two or more people with a bed sheet or blanket and like a fly swatter, try and wrap this sheet around that person and take them to the floor.
Their physical body temperature will begin to soar, so you might have to pour some cold water on them or briefly ice them to keep their core temperature down to a reasonable level so they do not throw a stroke.
Avoid getting anywhere near their mouths, as they have teeth and will use these to bite you. As a matter of fact they probably could take your fingers right off.
Your own bodies autoimmune system has destroyed this. All that person is left with is a basic very animal-like mental structure that is hardly even aware of it's surroundings like the person they once were.
They're nothing more now than a low level ape and a very low level one at that, as at least a chimp or a gorilla has some life long skill learning use.
Oh yeah, then you probably want to call 911 or something.
Remember this movie?
It is based on true accounts.
Basically Voodoo priests in Haiti would mix the poison of the Puffer Fish with Datura and give this toxic cocktail to people.
THE MAN WHO COMMITTED THIS CRIME IS FROM HAITI!
Then they would be buried for a couple days and "resurrected" as virtual zombies by the priests as proof of their "power".
