Serial killer - Paul Reid - Fast Food Killer
aul Dennis Reid, Jr. (November 12, 1957 -- November 1, 2013), also known as The Fast Food Killer, was an American serial killer, convicted and sentenced to death for seven murders during three fast food restaurant robberies in Metropolitan Nashville, Tennessee and Clarksville, Tennessee between the months of February and April 1997. At the time of the murders, Reid was on parole from an 1983 conviction in Texas on charges relating to the aggravated armed robbery of a Houston steakhouse. He had served seven years of a 20-year sentence, and was paroled in 1990. Originally from Richland Hills, Texas, a suburb of Fort Worth, Reid went to Nashville to pursue a career as a country music singer.
On June 25, 1997, Reid went to the home of the Shoney's manager, Mitchell Lynn Roberts, who had fired Reid from a dishwashing job the day before the Captain D's murders. The stated reason for his firing was that Reid had lost his temper and had thrown a dish at a fellow employee. Reid, armed with a gun and knife, knocked on the Roberts' front door. The man's son videotaped Reid at the door. Reid was allowed in the house with the knowledge that he was just there to talk to the Shoney's manager about getting his job back. After some time had passed, the Shoney's manager (feeling uneasy about Reid) attempted to get Reid to leave his property by walking outside with him and towards his car. At that point, Reid pulled his gun and knife on Roberts and demanded that he put on handcuffs and get into his car. The Shoney's manager, realizing that Reid was the one that committed the fast food murders, talked his way back up to his house and wrestled with Reid in an attempt to get inside his house to protect his wife, daughter, and son. After Reid left Roberts' house, he called him and tried to tell him he was sorry for what he had done. Roberts' talked Reid into coming back to his home so they could talk. Police captured and arrested Reid at the house. The footage was subsequently released to the media following police investigation. After Reid was to be released on bond by the Cheatham County Sheriff's Dept, Roberts contacted Nashville Police and asked for Reid to be considered the prime suspect in the fast food murders. He was later charged in the Captain D's and McDonald's murders and, eventually, the Baskin-Robbins murders.
