Detectives reported Zubigaray confronted the victim who had been spending time with friends at Twin Peaks, a bar and restaurant at 8700 NW 18 Terrace.
Surveillance video shows that after Zubigaray’s punch, the victim fell and appeared unconscious when Zubigaray “forcefully” removed the shoes that the victim was wearing and fled, according to police.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel found the 24-year-old victim who had suffered a brain bleed and took him to the HCA Florida Kendall Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery.
A detective reported witnesses described Zubigaray, 24, as a “hot head” whose mother was friends with the victim’s mother.
After an investigation, a defense attorney helped to arrange Zubigaray’s surrender on Friday, police said. Records show correctional deputies booked him at about 1:20 p.m., on Friday, and he appeared in court on Saturday.
Zubigaray faced charges of attempted murder and strongarm robbery. A judge ordered him to stay away from the victim and set his bond at $20,000.
Court records show Zubigaray’s arraignment hearing is at 9 a.m., on April 28. Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Carlos H. Gamez was set to preside over the case.
Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
