The Rome Police Department is currently investigating a murder-suicide that occurred at a Truett’s Chick-fil-A drive-thru on Wednesday morning. It is believed that Anthony Wayne Green, 56, shot Cassie Lashae Davis, 39, before turning the gun on himself. The two were residents of Rome and were in a domestic relationship. According to WRGA, Davis was shot three times with a revolver.
The restaurant’s General Manager, Greg Major, released a statement saying that the shooting was “horrific.” He also stated that no other guests or team members were hurt and that the restaurant will be closed for the day to repair and care for the team members. It is expected to reopen the next day.
The Chick-fil-A location was visited by the chain’s chairman, Dan Cathy, in 2018. He posted on Instagram about his visit, mentioning the “little red door” and the re-opening. Truett’s Chick-fil-A locations are dedicated to the life and legacy of Truett Cathy, Chick-fil-A’s founder, and the Rome establishment is one of four in Georgia.
