Police said Wilcher is a known member of the John Doe Boys gang who began a new crime spree on New Year's Eve after completing an 18-year prison sentence.
Miami-Dade police said Wilcher committed a home invasion robbery last Dec. 17, holding a gun up to a couple who had just come home from shopping.
Detectives said he went to a City Market at Northwest 62nd Street and 13th Avenue in Liberty City on Dec. 29 and was captured on surveillance video holding an AK-47. He was seen and heard on surveillance video threatening customers and the nearby neighbors.
"I'mma kill they (expletive) and I got to kill everybody else in there. They talking about they looking for Pee Wee, I'm right here," Wilcher says on the video.
Prosecutors said Wilcher went to the Liberty Square Housing Complex later in the day and began shooting the AK-47.
Two officers who were in the area heard the gunshots and responded to the scene, where they found multiple types of ammunition, including six 7.62-by-39 mm (AK-47) shell casings in the road, and Wilcher's car, which had crashed and knocked down a cement electrical pole.
Bullet holes were also found in the passenger-side door and rear window of Wilcher's car.
No injuries were reported.
Wilcher is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court on Oct. 11.
He was convicted of illegally being in possession of ammunition after a three-day trial.
