Mug Alert: Steak ‘n Shake Worker Allegedly killed over onion rings

[Sugar Cookie]

The family of a Steak ‘n Shake worker allegedly shot and killed following an argument over onion rings is calling for the suspect charged in the case to face the death penalty.

The family of 32-year-old Chauncia Meekins gathered for a vigil Monday outside the Steak ‘n Shake in St. Louis where she was shot and killed the night of April 8. She was working the drive-thru when St. Louis County Police say an argument took place, and the driver shot through the window, killing Chauncia Meekins and injuring her co-worker.

The argument was over onion rings, according to Tamela Washington, Chauncia Meekins’ mother.

“It’s never that serious to take a person’s life over fast food,” Washington said.

St. Louis County prosecutors announced Monday that 20-year-old Jada Bell is charged with six felonies in the case, including first-degree murder and armed criminal action.

The family is calling for Bell to face the death penalty in this case.

“As a family, as a whole, we will be pushing for the death penalty, not for revenge, but to set an example because we need to stop this type of senseless violence out here; it doesn’t make sense,” said Anthony Willhite, Chauncia Meekins’ cousin.

Investigators say the shooting was captured on Steak ‘n Shake’s surveillance video.

Court records show Bell went to the drive-thru on April 8 and, while at the window, had a dispute with the employees, including Chauncia Meekins, over her food order.

Investigators say Bell threw her drink at the victim, who threw it back at her. The suspect then allegedly fired several shots from a handgun at the 32-year-old, who died as a result.

A male employee was shot in the hand.

I think she's trying to look tough, those she only managed to get to stupid. WTF is wrong with people these days, a freaking bag of onion rings is not worth anybody's life. Tho she probably thought she was being disrespected over onion rings, yes it's as stupid as it sounds.

Onion rings are absolutely fine, dandy, and delicious!

But killing someone over them is not okay. As a matter of fact, the bottom picture appears to have one of the onion rings sporting a peace sign (albeit inverted). The message here is that you should have some peace, love, and understanding of the fast food worker serving you.
