Florida Man Shoots Burger King Employee for Taking Too Long to Fill Order On Saturday, August 1, around 7:30 p.m., a woman placed an order at the drive-thru window of the Burger King located at 7623 E. Colonial Drive in Orlando. There was a delay, the customer became angry and started yelling at employees, saying she was going to call “her man,” which prompted Desmond Armond Joshua Jr., a young black Burger King employee, to refund her $40 and ask her to leave the premises.
Still angry, the woman drove away and returned shortly thereafter with a man – later identified as Kelvis Rodriguez-Tormes (above) – in a white truck. Rodriguez, 37, challenged 22-year-old Joshua to a fight and assaulted the young man. After he placed Joshua in a headlock and commenced choking him, a witness intervened.
The two were separated, after which Rodriguez went to his truck, retrieved a gun and told Joshua, “You got two seconds before I shoot you!” He then shot Joshua, got into his truck and drove away.
Joshua, who had a criminal history, had just started working at the restaurant a few days before and was attempting to turn his life around. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A witness to the incident said the restaurant was unusually busy night and the drive-thru was backed up, causing customers to have to wait longer than was normal.
According to investigators, Rodriguez, a career criminal, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, destruction of evidence – for dismantling and hiding the firearm – and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.Sources: WPLG, WVLT and WKMG, August 2, 2020; and the Orange County Jail.

So why was the employee out in the parking lot? Why didn't he just stay inside the restaurant and call the police? I'll bet when the truth comes out that he's partially at fault for what happened.
