Jandei Cherry, 22, a musician with a three-year-old daughter, had been abondoned at the beach in south Florida after fighting with a friend who took his clothes and skateboard.

Facing a 10-mile journey home, the 22-year-old busboy allegedly got into a fight with a passing motorist who stopped to check what the nude man was doing running down the street.

"It is not normal for someone to be running naked down Hollywood Boulevard," said Hollywood police chief Osvaldo Perez.

"I think that's what spiked the other guy's attention."

During the tussle, Cherry was shot in the stomach and later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Authorities have identified the shooter as Duke Laguerre. He told detectives he was driving west on Hollywood Boulevard between 5-5.30am when he spotted the naked man.

Officials have no details of what the men said to each other and there is no evidence they knew each other previously.

Laguerre has not been charged with the shooting.

"I never met someone with a brighter aura that Jandei," said co-worker Kaylee Martinez.

His mother, Auta Cherry added: "The more I think about this, the more I think it makes no sense."
