Two men were arrested Wednesday in connection with the brutal beating of a McDonald’s worker that occurred last month in Opa-locka.
Jail records show Franklin Gerardo Banegas, 21, and Keyondric Deverius Daniels, 22, were arrested Wednesday on charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Banegas faces additional charges of possession of a firearm or ammunition by a convicted felon, use or display of a firearm while committing a felony and disorderly conduct.
According to his arrest report, the attack occurred Jan. 26 in the area of 1930 Opa-locka Boulevard.
The victim told police that five men, including Banegas and Daniels, approached him and Daniels asked him, “Am I for them?”
Confused, the victim said he responded, “What are you talking about?”
According to the report, Daniels then asked him whether he worked for McDonald’s and the victim said he did.
Police said Daniels then threw a punch at the victim, but missed, and the two began to tussle before falling to the ground.
Daniels and the other men then began to physically attack the victim, authorities said.
According to the report, the victim suffered a cut from his hairline and was transported by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue to Jackson North Medical Center.
A witness at the scene saw the attack and provided the victim with a towel afterward to help stop the bleeding, telling police that the group of men who attacked the victim had run away.
Police said officers reviewed surveillance video which captured the attack and showed Banegas beating the victim with a gun.
According to his arrest report, Banegas refused to speak with detectives after his arrest.
As of Thursday afternoon, both Banegas and Daniels were being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center where their bonds had yet to be set.
Anyone with information about the identities or whereabouts about the three others involved in the attack are urged to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.
