Man Who Shot at DoorDash Driver Over Late Cheesesteak Sentenced to 4–10 Years

Prosecutors accepted a plea that dropped attempted-homicide charges, prompting criticism from the victim's family.

Overview

  • The case began on March 22, 2025, when Keilan Marshal McKeever fired a shot through a delivery driver’s rear window during a dispute over a late cheesesteak, and the driver was not physically injured.
  • Investigators matched the bullet to an H&K 9mm recovered at McKeever’s home and cited security camera footage that captured McKeever threatening the driver.
  • McKeever entered guilty pleas in June 2026 to aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, weapons possession, disorderly conduct and related counts instead of facing an attempted-homicide charge.
  • On Tuesday the judge sentenced McKeever to four to ten years in state prison, ordered $2,288 in restitution and mandated a comprehensive mental-health evaluation while expressing frustration with sentencing limits.
  • The victim, 19-year-old college student Khalik Lewis, reports ongoing trauma and has stopped doing deliveries, and the case has raised questions about prosecutorial choices and safety for gig economy workers.
