Thomas Huber, one of the witnesses to the shooting, gave a timeline of events to FOX 2 Detroit detailing how the incident unfolded.:

“I was just eating a bowl, and I heard shouting. And then I looked over, they’re arguing. One of the workers went to the back, I don’t know why, and then when he was in the back, the customer walked around the counter, tried to grab his food and put it in a bag,” Huber said.

“Then the employee came back, and they started fighting, and then we heard a gunshot and just ran out as quick as we could,” he continued.

After being shot, the employee was rushed to the hospital with a gunshot wound in his leg. Southfield police say the man is currently in stable condition.

Police identified the suspect as a 31-year-old man from Detroit. He was taken into custody shortly after fleeing the scene.

It is unclear at the moment what charges the suspect will be facing.
