On March 23, 1997, during just his third day of work at a local fast food restaurant, Jose Ramirez Gonzalez, along with three co-workers were attacked. Jose’s three colleagues were shot to death while Jose was stabbed and left for dead. Their attacker was 39-year-old Paul Dennis Reid Jr: a country-star wannabe who spent nights robbing fast food joints and killing innocent workers. Jose recounts the night he faced off with Paul Dennis Reid in a stock room and managed to survive. A second survivor, Mitch Roberts, who Paul Dennis Reid held at gunpoint in his own driveway, also shares his story.
