Jack-in-the-Box fight ends with man shot dead in drive-thru line, California cops say
A 40-year-old man died after being shot in an altercation with two masked men in a Jack-in-the-Box drive-thru line, California police reported.
Officers did not say what started the dispute at 11:31 p.m. Sunday, July 23, outside the open fast-food restaurant, a Santa Rosa police news release said.
One of two men arguing with Jeffrey Farinha, of Rohnert Park, pulled out a gun and shot him repeatedly, police said. The two men, who were last seen wearing ski masks, ran away.
Callers reported the shooting to 911, police said. When officers arrived, they found Farinha in front of the drive-thru lane. He could not be revived and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Farinha was not a Jack-in-the-Box employee, police told The Press Democrat. Jack-in-the-Box could not be reached for comment on the shooting.
The attackers were last seen running eastbound on the 200 block of Burt Street, police said.
