   MEMPHIS, Tenn. - New details have emerged in the death of a Church's Chicken   
   employee who was shot and killed earlier this month after an argument with a   
   customer, records show.   
      
   Monica Williams was charged with first-degree murder and booked into the   
   Shelby County jail Monday, records show. No bond had been set for the 45-   
   year-old woman.   
      
   Williams is accused of shooting and killing Anitra West on the night of   
   Monday, July 8 after a food order dispute, records show.   
      
   The shooting happened just after 9 p.m. that day at the Church's Chicken on   
   Park Avenue between Haynes and Semmes streets in Orange Mound.   
      
      
   Williams had been on the run for a week before she was taken into custody   
   Monday. Records show that Williams' vehicle, believed to have been used in   
   the shooting, was found at her friend's home the day after the shooting.   
      
   Court documents obtained by FOX13 allege that it all started after Williams   
   pulled up to the fast food restaurant's drive-thru window and got into an   
   argument with West over "not paying for the food."   
      
   West then went outside to "get some air," records show.   
      
   One of West's co-workers told investigators that she heard "a loud gunshot"   
   and saw a vehicle speeding off the parking lot. The co-worker went outside   
   to find West bleeding from her head, records show.   
      
      
   The Church's Chicken employee was in critical condition when she was rushed   
   to a hospital, where she later died, Memphis Police (MPD) previously said.   
      
   Court records allege that West was on the phone with a friend when the   
   shooting took place. The friend told investigators that she heard the   
   argument between West and a customer at the drive-thru window, adding that   
   she heard the customer yelling, "I will kill you!"   
      
   When she went outside, West told her friend on the phone that "this same   
   girl with the purple hair I just got into it with just pulled back up on the   
   parking lot," court documents allege.   
      
   The friend told investigators that she heard a gunshot and "nothing else   
   until she heard other employees' voices she was familiar with calling   
   Anitra's name."   
      
   MPD investigators obtained surveillance footage showing a teal compact SUV   
   pulling up to the fast food restaurant. The driver, who was described to   
   have purple hair, walked outside of her vehicle and got into an argument at   
   the drive-thru window before the vehicle sped off, records show.   
      
      
   Police later issued an alert for the vehicle and released images of the   
   woman wanted in the shooting.   
      
   A woman told investigators that she was with Williams when Williams got into   
   an argument at Church's Chicken. The woman was in the passenger seat of the   
   vehicle, while her 10-year-old son was in the backseat, records show.   
      
   The woman told investigators that Williams had asked her if she and her son   
   were hungry. The three went to a Church's Chicken about a mile away from   
   their home around 8:30 p.m. "because they had coupons ... and decided to   
   drive through and pick up food."   
      
   An argument ensued between Williams and the Church's Chicken employee,   
   records show. Williams' friend told investigators that it started after   
   Williams "told the employee they had two orders and the employee seemed to   
   become upset."   
      
   Both women, court records allege, decided to not pay for the order. The   
   woman with Williams told investigators that it was because the situation   
   "had become so tense."   
      
   Williams pulled up to the drive-thru window and told the employee that "they   
   no longer wanted the order," records show. Williams drove her friend and son   
   home before Williams told her friend that she would leave again to "go get   
   some chips to go with their dinner."   
      
   The friend told investigators that Williams didn't return until sometime   
   between 11 p.m. and midnight that evening. Williams packed an overnight bag   
   and left her vehicle — a Mazda CX-9 — parked in her friend's driveway,   
   records show.   
      
   The friend told investigators that she "did not pay it any mind, because   
   Monica has been seeing someone and leaving with them in the evenings." She   
   called police the following morning after she saw news reports about the   
   Church's Chicken shooting.
