Kristopher Hicks, 29, was killed during a robbery at the Chili’s in DeWitt, New York, on September 15, 2018. A chef who had worked for the restaurant for over a decade, Hicks was finishing his shift when a former co-worker entered with violent intent. The attack also claimed the life of 37-year-old manager Stephen Gudknecht; the assailant fled after taking $875.

Authorities identified 32-year-old William Wood Jr., a former Chili’s employee from Syracuse, as the primary suspect and launched a search for him as armed and dangerous. The loss hit Hicks’s family and circle hard; he was remembered as a self-made man, devoted cook, lifelong Mets fan and someone who cherished his family, friends and animals.

If anyone knew Kristopher, his routines, or saw anything around the DeWitt Chili’s on the night of September 15, 2018, please share information that might help the record of what happened.
