HOUSTON -- Just-released video shows a Texas Jack-in-the-Box employee shoot at a drive-thru customer, reportedly during an argument over missing curly fries.
According to a lawsuit filed by Houston attorney Randall Kallinen, Anthony Ramos and his family ordered a combo meal at the restaurant near Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport in March 2021.
Ramos, a Florida resident, was in Houston for work after the February freeze. He picked up his pregnant wife and daughter, who was 6 years old at the time, from the airport and stopped at the drive-thru for food. Fifteen minutes later, they were speeding off in an attempt to avoid gunfire.
In newly released video, employee Alonniea Fantasia Ford appears agitated with Ramos. He is in the driver's seat, his wife is sitting in the front passenger seat, and their daughter is in the back seat. They paid $12.99 for a meal combo, the lawsuit states, but did not get the curly fries they ordered, prompting an argument.
Not even halfway into the dispute, the video shows Ford ready a gun. Minutes later and with another employee at the window, she throws ice and condiments, before firing at least twice at the family.
