Lubbock police responded to a shooting at a local fast food restaurant on Saturday, April 11th, 2020.
According to a police report, shots were fired just after 6 p.m. at the Wendy's in the Target parking lot, located at 2505 South Loop 289.
Police say a customer, identified as 24-year-old Rene Quintanilla Jr., got into an argument with a Wendy’s employee while in the drive-thru.
