A 12-year-old boy was taken into custody after being wanted for murder in the fatal shooting of a Sonic Drive-In employee in Texas, police said.
Matthew Davis, 32, was shot and killed Saturday night as he fought with Angel Gomez, 20, in the parking lot of the restaurant in Keene, about 40 miles (64 kilometers) southwest of Dallas, police said.
The boy was at the restaurant with Gomez, who was causing an unspecified disturbance in the parking lot, and shot Davis several times after taking a gun from Gomez’s vehicle, according to a police statement.
Davis was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.
The boy used an AR-style rifle in the shooting, Police Chief James Kidd told The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday. Both Gomez and the boy fled the scene, but Gomez later returned and was arrested on a murder warrant and the boy, whose name has not been released, was found and arrested in the nearby town of Rio Vista, police said.
Its so sad how these incidents continue to happen at fast food restaurants as we previously reported a man in Florida shot a couple in Mcdonald’s drive-thru because their order took too long.
The incident occurred in Polk County when Rebecca Hyde and her boyfriend, David Tomor, went to a local McDonald’s and ordered a burger meal at the drive-thru. However, there was an issue with the order, and a man waiting behind them became impatient when their order took too long and got out of his car multiple times to scream at the couple, as reported by WFLA.
“The gentleman became irate, started honking and screaming — just was impatient — wanting everything to move. They were told at that point they couldn’t move forward, that McDonald’s has a policy they can’t walk outside to bring you your food,” said Tomor’s sister.

“When he did that, my brother got out of the car as well, noticed that he had a gun, and said, ‘I don’t want this fight, just go back to your car and take it for that.’ The guy didn’t like that answer,” she continued. The two men started physically attacking each other for the third time, and a fight broke out in the fast food restaurant’s parking lot. Rebecca also joined in on the fight.
After the physical altercation, the man followed the couple after they drove off from the drive-thru. The suspect was identified as 28-year-old Calvin Jordan Sousa.
