Background: The Little Caesars restaurant on Patrick Street Plaza in Charleston, West Virginia (Google Maps). Inset: Jahtique Farmer (West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation).
Jahtique Farmer, 21, faces charges of malicious wounding, as per the West Virginia Regional Jail and Correctional Facility records. The altercation unfolded on Thursday evening.
According to court documents obtained by WSAZ, a local NBC affiliate, Farmer was in conversation with another employee at the Little Caesars on Patrick Street Plaza in Charleston. Together, they stepped outside the establishment, where a man at the drive-thru window was reportedly staring at Farmer, a gesture that reportedly agitated him.
Authorities report that the co-worker retrieved a firearm from Farmer’s vehicle glove compartment and handed it to him. The pair then re-entered the restaurant.
According to authorities, the fellow worker retrieved a gun Farmer had in his vehicle’s glove compartment and handed it to him. The two then went back into the store.
The man outside apparently remained by the drive-thru, as the suspect is alleged to have gone to the window and screamed at him while the man sat in his parked vehicle.
“You want to kill me,” Farmer reportedly said to the man before firing his gun three times through the window. The other man was hit in the bottom of his face and near his left rib cage, per WSAZ, but he was listed as being in stable condition after driving himself to the hospital.
Farmer was arrested the following day and booked into the South Central Regional Jail. It is unclear whether he and the victim knew each other.
Farmer is still listed as in the custody of the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
