19-year-old dead after drive-thru argument

Police believe a fatal shooting at a West Philadelphia chicken restaurant was due to an argument that escalated as the 19-year-old victim waited for his food.

It happened at around 1:43 p.m. Sunday at Chik-A-Boom, which is located at the Global Gas Station, on Lancaster Avenue at 46th Street.

“To me, it sound like a firecracker. It was like six or seven shots,” according to Andre Terry, who told 6abc that he heard the shots as he was just about to leave church across the street. “Then one of our deacons is like, ‘I think that was gunshots.’”

Investigators said that shots were not only fired from the suspect’s car, but the passenger of the victim’s car. No word on if those involved knew each other.

Police are still investigating all of the shootings.
