Douglas Marks, 47, confronted the woman and her son in the lobby of the Crystal Beach Suites in Miami Beach on Monday evening, according to reports
Veronica Pena and her son, both visiting Miami Beach from New Mexico, said they were in the lobby of the hotel when they first saw Marks.
According to the affidavit, seen by Local10.com, Marks, from Miami, told the pair: 'You aren't social distancing.'
He then reportedly told them that they needed to leave the hotel, before he retrieved a black firearm which he shot 'several' times in the lobby.
One witness was able to record the scenes after the incident, in which Marks was arrested by Miami Beach police.
No one was injured in the shooting.
One witness, who spoke to Local10 but chose to remain anonymous, said that he tried to shield the tourists with his body.
'He tried to shoot the girl and the kid,' the unnamed witness told the news station.
Marks has allegedly confessed to the shooting, but told detectives that he fired his weapon because he was being followed, and asked the front desk to call 911.
