Florida woman arrested in fatal shooting of Burger King employee over drive-thru delay

Ashley Mason, 31, was charged on Wednesday for her involvement in the death of Desmond Joshua, who had recently started working at a Burger King in Orlando.

The Aug. 1 shooting followed an argument involving the Burger King’s manager, Joshua and a woman, whom police officials later identified as Mason. Police said Mason had allegedly grown irate over the long wait time at the fast-food restaurant’s drive-thru, where she ordered $33.11 worth of food.

She was refunded her money and was ordered to leave, but not before she "threatened to bring her 'man' to the restaurant," the affidavit states.

According to the police document, subsequent video footage showed that Mason left the Burger King parking lot and returned shortly thereafter with her husband, Kelvis Rodríguez Tormes.

Rodríguez Tormes allegedly "demanded to fight" with Joshua and the pair moved to the parking lot, where he "placed [Joshua] into a headlock and began to choke him," the affidavit states.

As the men were fighting, Rodríguez Tormes allegedly said: “Bust him if he touches me,” according to a description of cellphone footage from the document. Witnesses broke up the fight.

Rodríguez Tormes then climbed into his truck, (snip)

He opened his window and stated: “You got two seconds before I shoot you," the affidavit states.

Moments later, he shot Joshua a single time in the chest and drove away. The 22-year-old was rushed to a local hospital, but could not be saved.

According to the affidavit, witnesses told investigators they also watched Mason take her husband’s gun and point it at restaurant employees before handing it off to Rodríguez Tormes.

When she got into her car, she allegedly had attempted to hit Joshua.

What happened to the simple old days of a few years ago? Back when people who had trouble with their order would simply call 911.

INNOCENT black guy gets killed by white trash and illegal thug.

Where are the riots over this “racism”?

At least this guy is innocent. No one riots (or “protests”) over innocent black victims, just the criminal element.

So she didn’t have time to wait in line, but she did have time to drive back home to get “her man” and then drive back to the restaurant?

AND spend the rest of her life in prison. Turns out she had plenty of time.

I believe it is illegal...and many times, legal psychotropic drugs are rendering the users incapable of rational thought and behaviour. Includes ethyl alcohol...and even high doses of caffeine. Much more with meth...opiates...cocaine...mdma..synthetic marijuana...the legacy of the psychedelic hippies.
Weak parenting or no parenting is also a factor...

Time management and thinking ahead are not her strong suits.
