An employee of Burger King was shot in a parking lot in Orlando (
Florida) this Saturday evening. According to the authorities, the dissatisfaction of a customer of the drive, forced to wait for her order too long, would be at the origin of the tragedy.
37-year-old man arrested, reports Associated Press. This is the client’s boyfriend. The latter had complained about the slowness of the service, got out of her vehicle screaming and had an argument with the employee, threatening to bring in “her man”. The 22-year-old employee reimbursed the customer for the $ 40 she spent, says International Business Times.
CCTV identifies the shooter
But she returned soon after with her companion. A fight then pitted the young employee against the client’s boyfriend. The latter released a weapon and fires at the server after saying “You have two seconds before I shoot you.” Seriously injured, the victim died in hospital.
The couple fled, but CCTV footage identified them. The shooter was taken into custody and charged with “first degree murder with a firearm”, “destruction of evidence” and “possession of a firearm by a convicted criminal”.
