A former Popeye’s employee is in custody after he reportedly walked off the job, only to return and fire a gunshot into the drive-through window.

According to court documents, Las Vegas police received multiple calls at approximately 7:46 p.m. on September 7 in reference to a shooting at a Popeye’s restaurant on the 4800 block of W. Sunset Rd. The callers said that a former employee there, later identified as David Jerron Bravo, had walked up to the drive-through window and fired one shot into it.

Bravo was reportedly upset regarding a scheduling change and got into an argument with another employee around 2 p.m. He said that he was going to walk out if his shift was changed.

A manager advised Bravo that if he walked out, his employment would be terminated. The suspect eventually walked out and there was no further contact with him until he returned at approximately 7:42 p.m, parking a black Dodge Challenger in the store’s east parking lot

Bravo allegedly exited the car and walked to the drive-through window. The report said he “brandished a handgun from his waistband and began knocking on the drive-thru window with it.” Employees moved away from the window at the sight of the gun and while they did so, the suspect fired once into the window, shattering it.

He then returned to his vehicle and drove away from the area.

an IT representative for Popeye’s provided investigators with interior video footage of the drive-through. It showed Bravo approaching the window on foot and speaking to an employee through the window before he grabbed his gun and pointed it at the window. The footage also reportedly showed the suspect tapping on the window before firing the weapon.

On September 9, Bravo was taken into custody without incident. After advising the suspect of his Miranda rights, police asked him where the handgun was and he said he didn’t know. He is facing charges of attempted murder with the use of a deadly weapon, assault with the use of a deadly weapon and discharging a gun into an occupied structure.

Bravo’s bail was set at $25,000.
