Poppo said Eugene had said something about not being able "to score," adding that Eugene "must have been souped up on something." In the police interview, Poppo sometimes seems confused about some details of the attack. He described Eugene wearing a green shirt and getting out of a car, but surveillance video recorded from security cameras on The Miami Herald building showed a naked Eugene walking up to Poppo as cars and bicyclists zipped by. Poppo was reclining on the sidewalk near the parking garage where he lived. Police asked Poppo whether he provoked Eugene. "What could provoke an attack of that type?" Poppo said. "I didn't curse at the guy or say anything mean or nasty." Poppo also thanked the police for saving his life, saying the officer who shot Eugene arrived in the nick of time.
