A dispute at an Arby’s drive-thru in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in March 2019 escalated into a fatal shooting. Twenty-five-year-old Desean Tallent was involved in a heated argument with the restaurant’s manager, 26-year-old Deionna Young; Tallent allegedly cursed at, threatened, and spat on Young. He left but returned about an hour later and was seen circling the Arby’s parking lot.

Young reportedly got into her vehicle and followed Tallent as he drove away, a pursuit police described as a cat-and-mouse chase. During that pursuit Young fired a single shot from a .45 caliber handgun into Tallent’s SUV, striking him in the upper torso. Tallent’s vehicle then crashed into the entrance of a nearby Walmart; he was taken to a hospital and died of his injuries. Young was arrested in connection with the shooting and later led police to where she said she had disposed of the weapon.

If anyone witnessed the drive-thru altercation, the parking-lot circling, or the chase near the Walmart, did you see anything that could clarify what happened before the shot was fired?
