On April 16, 1994, three employees were shot and killed and a fourth employee was seriously injured at a Popeyes restaurant in Gadsden, Alabama. The perpetrators, Robert Bryant Melson (June 5, 1971 – June 8, 2017)[1] and Cuhuatemoc Hinricky Peraita (born May 19, 1976),[1] robbed the restaurant of over $2,100, led the four employees into a freezer, and then shot all four of them.[2]
Melson was sentenced to death for the crime and Peraita received a life sentence; however, he was later sentenced to death for killing another inmate in prison. Melson was executed in 2017 and Peraita remains on death row.[3][4]
