worker brought the food out, the customer shot him and fled.
Six days later a citizen called and identified a person responsible for the murder. Joshua Moore was picked out in a lineup by restaurant employees.
On January 15, 2022 a similar case unfolded at the Dixie Queen restaurant on South Bellevue. In this case two drive-up customers began shouting at a worker, saying they received the wrong order and the employee was disrespectful to them.
The customers fired shots into the store and killed the worker.
