A DoorDash delivery driver threatened to shoot a woman in the head after she canceled her order and they both ended up at the same Pizza Hut in Kennesaw, police said.
According to Kennesaw police, the woman placed an order through Pizza Hut’s website just before 10:30 p.m. April 20 and was notified her order would be delivered by DoorDash. The woman told police she did not want the pizza delivered by DoorDash, so she called the driver and asked him to return her order to the store, an incident report obtained by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said.
The woman said the driver was rude to her, so she went to the store to pick up her order and file a complaint, the incident report said.
After she arrived at the Pizza Hut location at 3600 Cherokee Street with her young daughter, two men entered the store. One of the men, later identified as the DoorDash driver, lifted his shirt to show a handgun in his waistband and threatened the woman, telling her she was “lucky you got that baby in your arms” or else he would have shot her in the head, the incident report said.
The woman took cover behind the counter and called 911 while the employees talked to the man and convinced him to leave, according to the incident report. The woman told police she believed the store manager knew the man, but he later denied the claim when speaking to responding officers.
When first interviewed by police, two employees said the men never entered the store, the incident report said. Later, they changed their stories and admitted the men came inside but said they were only standing in the doorway, the report said.
The incident report said the employees “could be seen inside smirking and looking at each other” when officers left the store after interviewing them.
The employees told police there were no surveillance cameras in the store and officers did not see any at the scene or at neighboring buildings.
Investigators contacted DoorDash in order to learn the identity of the driver, and the company said their legal department would have to review the request. The investigation remains open and Kennesaw police are continuing to try to identify the suspect.
