A tragic altercation in Fayetteville, North Carolina, turned deadly on December 26, when a McDonald’s employee allegedly shot and killed a 25-year-old DoorDash driver, Samori Husamudeen, during a dispute.
The incident took place around 8:00 p.m. at a McDonald’s location, and police say the two men got into an argument before Kevin Holland, 25, pulled out a gun and shot Husamudeen.
Husamudeen was tragically pronounced dead at the scene. Holland, who fled the area after the shooting, was apprehended the next day at a Walmart and was charged with first-degree murder.
He is currently being held at the Cumberland County Detention Center without bond and is scheduled to appear in court next week.
