Overview
- Police affidavit unsealed this week says Hunter West Nadeau told investigators he wanted to punish the wealthy because he was tired of the 'elites' taking all the money.
- Nadeau said he chose Sky Meadow’s members-only PRIME steakhouse because he previously worked there and knew patrons were affluent, and he avoided a wedding on the grounds he called 'civilians.'
- Surveillance footage described in the affidavit shows Nadeau entering with a mask, shooting employee Steve Burtman at the front desk, then firing into the restaurant.
- Robert Steven DeCesare, 59, was killed and other patrons were wounded before diners attacked the shooter; officers later found Nadeau on the golf course with self-inflicted cuts, a ditched backpack, and admissions he was the gunman.
- A Hillsborough County grand jury returned indictments including purposeful first-degree murder and multiple attempted-murder counts, and prosecutors say further court proceedings are pending.
