Cops Looking for Man Who Shot Teen Fast Food Employee

Police have released video of the man they say shot a teenage Church’s Chicken employee at the fast food restaurant’s location at Broad and Erie in North Philadelphia.

Cops say a man, believed to be in his 50s or 60s, came into the store and got into an argument with a 21-year-old employee who was cleaning tables. The employee’s 19-year-old brother, who also works at the Church’s Chicken, intervened in an attempt to deescalate the altercation.

The 60-year-old man, who is shown in the video above, left the restaurant and returned with a gun. He fired three shots at the 19-year-old. He was taken to surgery at Temple Hospital and is listed in stable condition.

“He was doing his job, but the guy kept saying, ‘You can’t be doing this spraying. I gotta eat. I gotta eat,’” witness Keith Parker told Action News.

Anyone who has seen the suspect is asked to call Northwest Detectives at 215-686-3353 or 215-686-3354. Anonymous tips can also be called in to 215.686.8477, texted to 773847 or submitted online.
