people, putting all that information out there,” Lorenzo West Jr said. “We are looking forward to seeing the law work its way out, you know?”

Investigators said West was working at *******’s Chicken on Park Avenue when Williams came through the drive-through, and the two women got into a dispute over a food order.

Police said West walked outside the business to get some air, and that’s when Williams returned in her teal-******** SUV and opened *****. The SUV was recovered a day later on Deadrick Avenue in Orange Mound.

“I hope she turned herself in, but it’s OK. We are moving forward and trying to figure out how to make some life going forward,” West said. “Whatever happens with her is up to the judge -between **** and the judge, you know? And we’ll see. We are just trying to tend to my daughter Zoe and mend fences and families and trying to love each other.”

Anitra West left behind a 12-year-old daughter, but West said she was also a mother to dozens of young people she worked with at various restaurants and businesses over the years.

“It was her pleasure. That was her calling. She didn’t do anything but speak life to people. Actually, one of the police officers who responded to her was somebody who used to work with her,” West said.

page, social media sleuths began identifying Williams as the person in the photos. Two days later, police issued a warrant for Williams’s arrest.

“I hope she makes peace and asks **** for forgiveness. That’s all I can hope for,” said West. “We are not real big at punishing people down here because there’s a lot of people walking around with ******* charges taking care of their family every day, you know?”

In 2009, Williams was convicted of stabbing a pregnant woman with a butcher ******. According to court records, Williams tried to stab the woman in her stomach, but the victim turned and was stabbed in the back. Williams also hit the pregnant woman in the stomach, head, and neck with a tree branch.

Williams pleaded guilty to aggravated ******** and received a three-year sentence.

Williams is scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday.
