According to police and local sources, a Burger King employee in Florida reportedly shot a customer after he tossed mayonnaise in her face.
After the incident at the Miami Gardens fast-food business, Shateasha Hicks, 30, was arrested and charged with firing a handgun in public.
After an argument at the drive-thru window, Hicks allegedly opened fire on a guy, according to police.
According to NBC 6, the client who Hicks shot squirted or threw mayonnaise in her face.
According to a witness, the customer drove and parked in the Burger King lot.
According to an arrest record acquired by the site, Hicks then walked to her car, retrieved a revolver, and fired five bullets at the person’s vehicle as they drove away.
She left the scene in her car, but was apprehended after authorities discovered her vehicle about a mile from her home, according to the report.
According to the report, a gun was discovered on the floorboard of Hicks’ car, and detectives discovered five shell casings in the Burger King parking lot.
On Friday evening, Hicks was released from the Miami-Dade County prison after paying her $1,000 bail.
It’s unclear whether the customer, who has yet to be apprehended by investigators, was hurt in the incident.
The aunt of Hicks stated that her niece was protecting herself.
“She was protecting herself. I don’t blame her. Everybody else might, but I don’t,” she told Local10.
A witness who identified himself as Kevin told the outlet that he was purchasing a burger at the time of the shooting — and saw the victim “making faces” at Hicks.
“He was making faces at her through the car window, out here in the road, and that’s when he pulled in here and that just set her off,” he said.
The incident, according to a Burger King representative, was “unacceptable.”
