According to police, officers responded to a Sonic Drive-In located at 5510 Babcock Rd around 9:30 p.m. on July 7 for a shooting.

When officers arrived, they found the manager, Daniel Lacy Shrewsbury, unresponsive with a gunshot wound to the chest. Shrewsbury died shortly at the scene.

Police said when Shrewsbury arrived at work, he found out that Roberson tried to pay for food with counterfeit money and had taken money from an employee. Shrewsbury then went outside to take a photo of Roberson’s vehicle’s license plate. Joshua Joseph, who was with Roberson, got upset and threatened to assault Shrewsbury and warned him he was going to get shot. Moments later, Roberson got out of the car and shot Shrewsbury, police said.

Joseph was arrested on Aug.16 and charged with murder.
