An 18-year-old Domino’s delivery driver was shot at multiple times after he parked in the wrong driveway while dropping off food at a home in Tennessee, police said.
Caiden Wheeler told officers he was delivering pizza to a home Monday on North Poole Street in Ashland City, about 25 miles northwest of Nashville.
"The victim stated that he thought he was parked in the right driveway but when he got out to deliver the pizza the next door neighbor ... flagged him down," a criminal complaint states.
Wheeler said he walked through the yard, delivered the pizza and got back into his truck.
As he was pulling out of the driveway, Wheeler said he heard gunshots and saw someone "running at him and shooting at him," according to the complaint.
He said he quickly backed out of the driveway and sped off. Police said there were three bullet holes in his truck: one on the driver’s side by the gas tank, one above the driver’s side window and another in the front driver’s side wheel and tire.
STOCKTON - A Domino's Pizza delivery driver was shot and killed in the 300 block of South Sutter Street on Thursday night, moments after he delivered a late-night order.
The San Joaquin County Coroner's Office identified him as Mickey Xiong, 31, of Stockton.
Stockton police Detective Roseann Clark said the 11:15 p.m. delivery on South Sutter Street was routine, and the pizza was delivered and paid for.
As Xiong got back into his car, he was approached by two men, one of whom shot him in the torso. He attempted to drive away but crashed into a parking meter in the 100 block of South Sutter Street, police said. He was unresponsive when officers arrived.
Clark said Xiong's car had clear signs indicating he was from Domino's Pizza.
"We talked to the customer that made the transaction, and it doesn't seem to be sales-related. Based on what we found in the car, it doesn't appear to be a robbery," Clark said. "We don't know right now what the motive is."
Xiong worked at the Domino's Pizza franchise located at 402 E. Charter Way.
Franchise owner Craig Turner said he was asked by police not to speak about details. He did say other employees of the restaurant were shocked to hear of their co-worker's death.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of a team member," Turner said. "We just really want the police to find who did this. We're like a family down here. ... This is tough."
If people don't understand that they have an obligation to their spouse and their children then they really shouldn't create a family.
