A deadly argument outside a Nashville lounge sent a bullet tearing through the metal wall of a nearby Sam’s Club, killing an innocent Frito-Lay worker as he counted products in the chip aisle, police said.
The victim, identified as 55-year-old Paris Carlock of Murfreesboro, was conducting an early-morning product inventory near the middle of the store shortly after 4 a.m. when the bullet struck him in the head.
Sam’s Club staff rushed to Carlock’s aid before he was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.
