Overview
- Charges announced Monday by Clay County Prosecutor Zachary Thompson name Terrence R. Phillips, the store’s manager, on first-degree assault, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon, with bond set at $1 million.
- Police say the dispute began late Friday at the drive-thru on North Oak Trafficway, and the customer was later found at a nearby apartment with a wound that entered his back shoulder and exited his chest.
- Court documents describe surveillance video of Phillips leaving the restaurant, a faint muzzle flash by a vehicle outside, and his return with what appeared to be a black handgun in his left pocket.
- Investigators reported finding a single shell casing in the parking lot and a Glock 22 in the walk-in freezer that they say had been stolen from the Norfolk Police Department.
- Phillips told detectives the customer yelled racial slurs after he asked him to pull forward for fresh-cooked chicken and he denied firing a shot or knowing about any gun, while KSHB also reports he is a convicted felon.
