Fatal Shooting Over Fast Food Fight
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Decora Jenkins was shot dead by a friend over a fast food dispute. She was 18. Ms. Jenkins, her 20-year old boyfriend, and a 28-year old female friend had just gotten some food from Rally’s. The female friend and the boyfriend argued and wrestled over the food, which resulted in the female friend grabbing a gun and firing at the boyfriend. She missed and hit Decora Jenkins instead.
A neighbor, who was with the three hours earlier at a block party commented, “It is very heartbreaking. All this came about over a hamburger. It’s a terrible situation.”
Two Rally’s hamburger wrappers were found in front of the home, attacked by a swarm of ants.
