On December 2, at about 9:45 p.m. In Warner Robins, Georgia, Joshua Hickey attempted to rob a restaurant at 1307 Watson Blvd. Warner Robins is about 70 miles southeast of Atlanta, and about 8 miles south of Macon, Georgia. The restaurant is an American Philly-N-Wings on Watson Blvd near Vernon Drive.
After Hickey jumped the counter, a restaurant worker attempted to disarm the suspect. But Hickey is said to have pistol-whipped the worker, attempting to gain compliance. The worker was struck to the floor, then drew his own handgun and shot Hickey three times. Hickey fled the scene. From 13wmaz.com:
Sergeant Justin Clark with Warner Robins Police says Hickey jumped the counter and attempted to make his way to a door in the restaurant while demanding money. That’s when things escalated, Hickey allegedly pistol-whipped a worker and the two men fought over the gun.
“The restaurant worker was struck, hit the ground. As he was coming back up, he drew his own legally-owned firearm and fired three shots at Mr. Hickey. Mr. Hickey was struck twice and fled on foot,” Clark said about the tussle.
The police responded to the 911 call. They found Hickey with serious wounds, outside the restaurant, on Vernon Drive. Hickey was 23 years old.

Good news.
“Hickey was taken to the hospital where he died.”
Joshua won't be home for Christmas, not even in his dreams.
And no Christmas trees in hell, but coal in his stocking would be totally appropriate.
Sucks for hickey
He went for the gold and all he got was lead.
Interesting comment since no license is required to carry in Georgia.
I see what you did there
Too bad, so sad. Yawn.
I’m shocked simply shocked
I guess the few bucks he would have gotten from the restaurant wasn’t worth it, was it? Hopefully he repented on his way to the ground and sought forgiveness.
.....sadly, yes....but he probably was an aspiring rap star who needed some cash to finance his singing lessons, and to help pay for the upkeep of the 8 children he had by 6 or so different women...such a senseless waste of talent...
Krampus arrived early to drag another bad boy to the underworld.
hickey, sucked...
AND-—he needed a trip to the barber
