Police are investigating a suspected murder-suicide that occurred in the car park of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Rome, Ga., this morning.
The Rome Police Department was alerted to the incident outside Truett’s Chick-fil-A restaurant on Shorter Ave about 7 a.m., according to a statement obtained by Mister Truth.
The alleged shooter was identified as Anthony Wayne, 56, and the victim was named as Cassie Lashae Davis, 39. The pair were in a “domestic relationship,” the police statement said.
“The suspect shot the victim while she was inside her vehicle. The suspect then shot himself,” police said. The official statement added the crime was “not related to Chick-fil-A but rather occurred on the property of the restaurant.”
Deputy Coroner Chris Giles told that Cassie Davis was shot three times with a revolver.
A Chick-fil-A representative on site told local news outlet they gave their thoughts and prayers to the families and called it a “tragic” incident. Mister Truth has contacted Chick-fil-A for further comment.
