   MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The ex-husband of a Church’s Chicken employee gunned down   
   outside an Orange Mound restaurant last week is relieved the alleged shooter   
   has been arrested.   
      
   Church’s Chicken shooting suspect turns herself in   
   Monica Williams, 45, was wanted for first-degree murder for the killing of   
   Anitra West. A police source said Williams turned herself in Monday. MPD   
   confirmed Williams was in custody.   
      
   “Good job, police department, good job, Facebook people, putting all that   
   information out there,” said Lorenzo West Jr. “We are looking forward to   
   seeing the law work its way out, you know?”   
      
   Police said West was shot in the head in the parking lot of Church’s Chicken   
   on Park Avenue on July 8.   
      
   According to the complaint affidavit, West was working the drive-through   
   window when she argued with Williams because she did not pay for her food.   
      
   Police said West walked outside the business to cool off, and that’s when   
   Williams returned in her teal-colored SUV and opened fire. The SUV was   
   recovered a day later on Deadrick Avenue in Orange Mound.   
      
   Investigators said West was on the phone with a friend during the entire   
   incident, and the friend heard the customer West was arguing with in the   
   drive-through yell, “I will kill you.”   
      
   The friend said after West went outside, West stated, “girl, this same girl   
   with purple hair I just got into it with just pulled back up on the parking   
   lot.”   
      
   The friend said she heard West yell out, “go to jail, then hoe,” and then a   
   single gunshot.   
      
   “I hope she turned herself in, but it’s OK. We are moving forward and   
   trying   
   to figure out how to make some life going forward,” West said. “Whatever   
   happens with her is up to the judge -between God and the judge, you know?   
   And we’ll see. We are just trying to tend to my daughter Zoe and mend fences   
   and families and trying to love each other.”   
      
   Anitra West left behind a 12-year-old daughter, but West said she was also a   
   mother to dozens of young people she worked with at various restaurants and   
   businesses over the years.   
      
   “It was her pleasure. That was her calling. She didn’t do anything but   
   speak   
   life to people. Actually, one of the police officers who responded to her   
   was somebody who used to work with her,” West said.   
      
   After MPD released pictures of the person wanted in connection to the   
   shooting on its Facebook page, social media sleuths began identifying   
   Williams as the person in the photos. Two days later, police issued a   
   warrant for Williams’s arrest.   
      
   “I hope she makes peace and asks God for forgiveness. That’s all I can hope   
   for,” said West. “We are not real big at punishing people down here because   
   there’s a lot of people walking around with murder charges taking care of   
   their family every day, you know?”   
      
   In 2009, Williams was convicted of stabbing a pregnant woman with a butcher   
   knife. According to court records, Williams tried to stab the woman in her   
   stomach, but the victim turned and was stabbed in the back. Williams also   
   hit the pregnant woman in the stomach, head, and neck with a tree branch.   
      
   Williams pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and received a three-year   
   sentence.   
      
   Williams is scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday.
