Rudy Eugene, 31, reportedly growled at a police officer after he was warned to back away.
About 75% of the victim's face was reportedly missing.
Ives Eugene, Eugene's uncle, described his nephew as a "nice and hard-working" man who washed cars at a local dealership.
Miami police said they still do not know what prompted the bizarre and savage assault, which has been compared to a "zombie" attack.
But Armando Aguilar, of Miami's Fraternal Order of Police, told a CNN affiliate he believed the suspect could have overdosed on a type of drug known as "bath salts".
Made with the active agent mephedrone, the synthetic substance often causes users to become highly aggressive and experience intense hallucinations.
Mr Aguilar cited four past overdoses in the Miami area where people had also removed their clothes and gone berserk.
"It causes them to go completely insane and become very violent," he said
