A 60-year-old man was arrested in Hawaii on Sunday after he allegedly stabbed and killed a Wendy’s employee and seriously injured another, according to reports.

Honolulu police arrest records show Reynaldo Cheney has been charged with murder and criminal contempt of court.

Hawaii News Now reported that Honolulu police said the incident occurred just before 10 a.m. Sunday at a Wendy’s on Farrington Highway in Nanakuli.

Police confirmed to the station that the suspect, later identified as Cheney, was a customer and the other two people involved were employees of the fast food restaurant.

Police said Cheney was moving furniture when a 22-year-old employee approached him and asked him to stop moving the furniture.

The back and forth between the employee and customer escalated after the suspect allegedly called the employee a derogatory name, police said.

As the two argued, a 44-year-old employee reportedly intervened and escorted the man out of the restaurant, where the argument continued.

At some point, police said, the 22-year-old employee hit the man, who stabbed both employees in retaliation, police said.

Both employees were treated at the scene and transported to a nearby hospital. The 22-year-old employee later died from his injuries.
