LOCAL 7-Eleven Clerk Murderer Arrested

from the Chicago-Sun Times

A man wanted for allegedly killing a 7-Eleven clerk in Michigan over a taco has been arrested in Wisconsin. Kenyatta Davis, 35, was arrested late Friday by the U.S. Marshals Service. Marshals and the Racine County sheriff's department, acting on a tip, found Davis at a home in downtown Racine.

Davis, of Shelby Township, tried to escape out a basement window but was unsuccessful because the house was surrounded. Davis allegedly argued with a 7-Eleven clerk on Aug. 24 in Sterling Heights, over the price of $1.16 taco before Davis returned to his vehicle, got a gun and shot clerk Wajed Ali Baig four times.

Baig was a father of three. Davis was being held Tuesday in the Racine County Jail awaiting extradition to Michigan.
