Domino’s employee killed while delivering pizzas
From Staff Reports
An employee of Domino’s Pizza in Darlington was shot and killed late Saturday night while making a delivery on a rural road in Darlington County, officials said.
Abdul McKenzie, 39, of Darlington, was found dead in a car on Rogers Road near Larry’s Drive just before midnight Saturday, according to the Sheriff’s Office and the Coroner’s Office.
McKenzie had been a Domino’s employee for nearly 20 years, his supervisor, Osmond Kasim, told local news media. The Domino’s on Pearl Street, where McKenzie worked, was to stay closed indefinitely during the investigation, Kasim told local media.
McKenzie’s wife, Trinity Sampson, said in a statement: “Abdul was a good man and great husband and loving father of three girls. He is one of the kindest, most giving (people) I have ever known. … He showed everyone the utmost respect and love. … He bothered no one. He had no enemies, so we are outraged and broken” by his slaying.
An autopsy had been scheduled for Monday, officials said. The State Law Enforcement Division was assisting the Darlington County Sheriff’s Office in the investigation.
Darlington County Coroner Todd Hardee called it a “senseless death.”
