The DoorDash driver went around the restaurant after arguing about a milkshake that was missing from the order with the young employee and manager. He then shot at the entrance of the building from his car, striking the young victim, according to NBC 10 Philadelphia. There was allegedly a second person in the car, although authorities are unsure of their involvement at this time.
The suspected shooter, Tyquan Austin, 26, was identified and charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment and possession of an instrument of crime, according to Fox 29 Philadelphia.
Officers located Austin’s car in an alley abandoned. Austin was standing nearby and told officers it was not his car but his belongings were inside, according to Fox 29.
Also discovered in the car were two 40-caliber magazines, matching the shell casing found outside of the restaurant, according to CBS Philly.
