A former professional boxer has been arrested after Miami police say he was preparing to shoot up a gym. Azea Agustama, 39, of North Miami, was jailed early Wednesday and charged with two felony counts of issuing written threats to commit a mass shooting, and one count of threatening to kill. Known in boxing as the “Haitian Hitman,” Agustama competed in the 2008 Olympics in China for Haiti, as a light heavyweight. He also notched 18 wins as a professional boxer, often appearing on cards at Casino Miami Jai-Alai and other venues in the mid-2010s.
According to a police arrest report, Augustama was a personal trainer and had been a member of BOXR Gym, 1310 NE First Ave. But he had his membership revoked and was issued a trespass warning on Nov. 11 after he got into an argument with someone at the facility, police said. On Tuesday, according to the report, Augustama called police saying he wanted to pick up his belongings at the gym. Then, he took to Instagram, posting a photo of the Parkland school mass shooter with a caption saying he “was considering shooting” a slew of people over being kicked out and “saying I touched a girl,” the report said.
