Customer who was killed in the dispute by the Checkers work

Orlando, Florida (WESH) -A Fast -Food worker in Florida is charged after he has supposedly shot and killed a customer.

A witness said that the customer then made a derogatory comment on Macke, and then the 23-year-old pulled a pistol out of his covenant and shot the man into his chest.

The MPs said that Macke was decreased by the scene, but they were able to hide him in a stairwell in the Celebration Suites shortly later.

The customer was taken to a hospital where he later died.

Macke is charged with a firearm of the intentional murder.
