Investigators believe Jean-Pierre shot his manager during an argument on Friday. Atlanta Police say the manager was involved in a dispute with the employee earlier in the day and the employee was asked to leave. Investigators say he later returned, confronted the manager, and shot her.
Sunshine and Sunrise McDonald’s owns the franchise location. Chief People Officer Colnith Brown identified the manager as Elizabeth Williams. He says she is currently at Grady Memorial Hospital and was “doing ok, the last I heard.”
