Caleb Joshua Halley, the man who portrayed Florida State Seminoles mascot Chief Osceola from 2004 to 2007, was killed following an argument at a restaurant. Via the Tallahassee Democrat:

"According to police reports the two men were arguing over the amount of spice to put into Buddy’s Seafood Market gumbo Tuesday where the two men worked. Thompson armed himself with a wooden board and Halley with a small wooden knife. Thompson then retreated and returned with a knife, slashing Halley, causing three lacerations across his torso."

Gumbo spices are serious business in Florida.
