FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A Florida man beat and stabbed a man in the head who walked into a KFC Wednesday begging for food, investigators said.
Branden Dion Pearson was approached by the man asking for food around noon inside the restaurant, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported.
Pearson refused to feed him and then started calling the man names. The two started shouting and cursing at each other inside the restaurant. Then, they started punching each other in the doorway. When an employee got between them, Pearson was inside and the victim, who has not been named, was outside.
The victim then grabbed a handful of pebbles from the parking lot and slung them at Pearson. Pearson then pushed past the employee and knocked the victim to the ground. The victim tried to fight back but Pearson, who was on top, pulled out a knife and stabbed him in the head.
Pearson then went back inside and waited for police to arrive. Pearson told investigators that he stabbed the victim because he threw rocks at him.
Pearson was arrested and charged with murder without premeditation, according to arrest records. He was being held on $50,000 bond.

Think he won't do it again after he gets out of prison?
The Sheriff's Office picture says it all.
I’m just wondering if the man begging was white. There seems to be an awful lot of white beggars out there these days.
should it matter that KIRO7 is in seatle?
Why was he begging for food in the head? The kitchen is more sanitary than a toilet.
Never get in a knife fight with a midget. He has all the good cuts, all you can do is try to stab him in the head.
I see plenty of young white beggars these days with tombstones in their eyes (heroin is a HELL of a drug). The older dudes hounding me tend to be black.
What 7-year-old wrote that headline?
It’s best not to mess with people or dogs while they’re eating. Manners 101.
I think I see the problem.
Wouldn’t it be, “in head, at KFC”?
Confusing title. Was he in the head when he got stabbed?
I had to read the entire article before i found out the victim was murdered. wtf.
what are they protecting by burying the lead?
“For I was hungry and you gave me food......”
KIRO7 is trying to beat the UK's Daily Mail?
Does it matter that Seatle is actually Seattle?
How long until “white supremacy” or “Global Warming” is blamed?

Oh, wait...

Oh, wait...
Prison?
No cash bail and if he does get locked up, he can use Kamala Harris’s bail fund.
