MEMPHIS, Tennessee - FOX13 learned Tuesday that the employee gunned down at the Church's Chicken on Park Avenue was 48-year-old Anitra West.
"I just want my momma. I don't want anyone else but my mom," said 12-year-old Zoe West, the daughter of the murdered woman.
Police said they are looking for a woman in connection with the murder. They said the woman had purple hair and drove a teal-colored SUV to the drive-thru window where they said an argument ensued over a food order.
Police said West went outside to get some air when witnesses reported hearing a gunshot. Officers said the woman then sped off in the SUV.
"The circumstances surrounding it make it even worse... a chicken place? Not over chicken. Self-control should be everyone's goal these days," said Loranzo West, Zoe's father. Loranzo said he and the mother had been married for 13 years when they divorced two years ago.
"Sweetest person in the world, never met a stranger," West said, referring to the victim. "But like most people if you wronged her, they're going to protect themselves, but it was all bark no bite."
West said the victim loved to cook, and she loved being of service to people.
He said there is a lesson to be learned from this tragic incident.
"Read the audience. Don't let your emotions get the best of you. Be in control of you. If you're in control of you, nine times out of 10, you control the situation to a certain extent," West said.
The victim's daughter had a message for the killer.
"I hope you rot in hell when you die and I hope you don't ever get to see your kids ever again," Zoe West said.
