Overview
- Prosecutors say Brianna and Kierianna Long entered a Detroit chicken restaurant and that a wrong‑order argument on May 30 escalated into a physical attack behind the counter.
- Authorities allege the sisters threw items, struck the 23‑year‑old employee with pots and pans, tried to pour hot grease on her and that one sister stabbed the worker in the stomach.
- The injured employee ran from the scene, hid in a stranger’s vehicle while calling for help and later required surgery for the wound.
- Both sisters were arrested, pleaded not guilty and face multiple felony counts including assault with intent to murder; a judge set cash bonds of $25,000 for Brianna and $100,000 for Kierianna.
- Defense lawyers say the worker provoked the encounter and threw items first and Brianna — who was nine months pregnant at the time and gave birth days before her arraignment — has pleaded innocence as the case moves through pretrial review.
