A tragic incident unfolded at a McDonald’s outlet in Eastpointe, Michigan, on Thursday, July 10, where a 26-year-old employee allegedly stabbed her manager following an argument. The manager later succumbed to her injuries.
According to a report by the Daily Mail, the accused, Afeni Muhammad, attacked her manager, Jennifer “Jamma” Harris, after being sent home due to work performance issues. Muhammad allegedly stabbed Harris at least 15 times inside the restaurant, located in the Detroit area.
Police said Harris had sent Muhammad home on Thursday morning after a disagreement. As per witness accounts cited in the report, Muhammad told Harris, “I’ll be back,” before stepping out and heading to her car. She then returned to the restaurant wearing a mask and armed with a kitchen knife.
The violent assault was witnessed by a drive-thru customer who, in an attempt to stop the attack, fired a shot into the air. Though no one was injured by the bullet, the customer managed to detain Muhammad as she tried to flee the scene. The Eastpointe Police Department later arrived and placed her under arrest.
As per the report, the incident came just a day after Muhammad had posted a video on Instagram where she accused Harris of mistreatment at work. In the footage, Muhammad expressed her anger about being sent home early two days in a row and voiced her frustration with her supervisor.
“I got sent home early yesterday. I got sent home early today by the same person,” she said in the reel.
“I’m telling you, she’s a bully. This sh** isn’t funny… She needs to understand that just because she’s a mother and got children, that doesn’t mean she can come in the store disrespecting people, talking like everybody is beneath her. She has no respect and it isn’t funny at all,” she added.

Muhammad, who goes by the name Risen Phoenix on social media, continued the video with more accusations against Harris.
“Like, seriously, man, I got sh** I need to take care of and she keeps sending me home early… she’s playing games,” she said.
In the video, Muhammad further alleged Harris of “playing racial sh**, spreading negative energy and gossiping about people. That sh** gonna have to stop.”
She also added, “Then she tells me I am snapping at people. No, no, no, that’s false, I don’t snap at people. I don’t go doing that. No, I make peace. I’ve been creating peace.”
Jennifer Harris, 30, who had worked at McDonald’s for 15 years, was a single mother of six. Following the attack, she was transported to a nearby hospital, where she died from her injuries.
As per the reports, Muhammad was arraigned in court the following day. She is charged with first-degree murder and carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent. The court set her bond at $25 million.
Her attorney stated that she is a high school graduate currently enrolled in online classes for physical therapy. “There are disturbing facts in this matter, but other facts have not been brought out yet,” the lawyer told the court, The Detroit News reported.
Prosecutors also revealed that Muhammad had a prior conviction related to another stabbing incident that occurred in a different state.
McDonald’s franchise owner Yusef Alcodray issued a statement expressing grief over the incident.
“We are deeply saddened by this tragic incident, and our hearts go out to the victim’s family and loved ones. The violence of any kind is unacceptable in my restaurants, and we are taking this matter extremely seriously, as the safety and well-being of our employees and customers is our top priority,” the statement read.
The restaurant has been closed and will remain shut until further notice as authorities continue their investigation.
