The manager of a Sonic restaurant died after being shot by a customer, according to Texas police and news reports.

The San Antonio Police Department said the 33-year-old manager was involved in an argument outside the restaurant’s drive-thru around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, July 7.

He was arguing with a customer over a food order, police told KENS 5 and MySA, and officers said the customer “pulled out a gun and shot the victim.”

As the gunman fled the restaurant, the manager walked back inside, where he collapsed, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators were hoping to get a description of the shooter through surveillance footage, KABB reported.
