A Burger King employee has died after a being shot by a man frustrated at how long it took to make a woman's order.
Desmond Joshua, 22, died in the parking lot at the fast-food restaurant on Saturday night (local time) in Orange County, Orlando, where he just started working.
It is understood a woman became angry after waiting in the drive-thru for longer than usual.
She got out of her car and yelled she would have "her man" come to the restaurant to sort out the problem after she was refunded her USD$40 (NZD$60) and told to leave, clickorlando.com reports.
The woman left before returning in a white truck with 37-year-old Kelvis Rodriguez-Tormes, insisting the employee fight him.
Rodriguez-Tormes held Joshua in a headlock and began choking him, only stopping when a witness intervened, according to video footage recorded at the scene.
Rodriquez-Tormes then went to his truck to get a gun which he threatened Joshua with, reportedly saying "you got two seconds before I shoot you," before firing his weapon and fleeing the scene in his truck.
Joshua was taken to a nearby hospital where he later died. He had only been working at the restaurant for a couple of days.
Police arrested and charged Rodriguez-Tormes with murder, destruction of evidence and possessing a firearm as a felon.
