A workplace argument over scanning procedures at the Burlington Coat Factory in Taylor, Michigan, ended in a fatal shooting on the morning of Monday, October 16, 2017. The victim was 49-year-old Lorraine Maylynn Faison of Allen Park. The dispute had begun the previous day between Faison and her co-worker, 49-year-old Sandra Lynette Waller of Taylor, and an assistant manager had intervened and sent both women home when the arguing continued.

The animosity resumed the next morning before the store opened. According to reports, Waller, a concealed pistol license holder, drew a handgun from her waistband and shot Faison once in the chest. Other employees witnessed the shooting; Waller remained at the scene and was taken into custody without incident. Faison was transported to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead.

Waller was charged with first-degree murder and felony firearm; her defense pointed to scissors found near Faison’s body as a possible factor. She later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and felony firearm and was sentenced in February 2018. Did anyone who worked at that store in October 2017 witness the earlier dispute or the moments before the shooting and have details to share?
