McDonald's worker's blood-curdling Instagram post shortly before 'MURDERING' her manager
Afeni Muhammad, 26, stabbed her manager Jennifer 'Jamma' Harris at least 15 times at the Detroit area McDonald's on Thursday after she was sent home over her performance.
Just a day before, Muhammad had taken to social media to express her rage at being sent home early two days in a row.
'I got sent home early yesterday. I got sent home early today by the same person,' Muhammad said in the Instagram reel.
'I'm telling you, she's a bully. This sh** isn't funny... She needs to understand that just because she's a mother and got children, that doesn't mean she can come in the store disrespecting people, talking like everybody is beneath her. She has no respect and it isn't funny at all.'
Muhammad's alleged victim, who had worked at the McDonald's for 15 years, was a single mother of six.
'Like, seriously, man, I got sh** I need to take care of and she keep sending me home early... she's playing games,' Muhammad continued.
Muhammad accused her boss of 'playing racial sh**, spreading negative energy and gossiping about people,' before adding, 'That sh**'s gonna have to stop.'
She added of her boss: 'Then she tell me I am snapping on people, No, no, no that's false, I don't snap on people. I don't go doing that. No, I make peace. I've been creating peace.'
Harris apparently sent Muhammad home again after an argument on Thursday.
Police say Muhammad told Harris 'I'll be back,' before she went to her car and retrieved a kitchen knife.
When she came back into the restaurant, she was wearing a mask, according to witnesses.
A drive-thru customer saw the attack and fired a shot in the air to try to stop it, police said.
Muhammad reportedly tried fleeing but was detained by the customer before she was arrested by the Eastpointe Police Department.
The alleged killer was arraigned Friday and is being held on a $25 million bond.
She is charged with first-degree murder and carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent.
Muhammad's lawyer said she is a high school graduate who is taking online classes for physical therapy.
'There are disturbing facts in this matter, but other facts have not been brought out yet,' the attorney told the court, as reported by The Detroit News.
The McDonald's franchise owner said in a statement: 'We are deeply saddened by this tragic incident, and our hearts go out to the victim's family and loved ones.
'Violence of any kind is unacceptable in my restaurants, and we are taking this matter extremely serious, as the safety and well-being of our employees and customers is our top priority. We are fully cooperating with law enforcement as they conduct their investigation, and the restaurant will remain closed until further notice.'
Muhammad is an aspiring rapper and uses the name 'Risen Phoenix' online.
Prosecutors said Monday she was previously convicted of stabbing someone in another state.
'The victim leaves behind six children, six young lives that will now grow up without a parent. This isn't just a statistic; this is a family shattered, a future forever altered,' said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido.

Ghislaine Maxwell could use ‘government misconduct' to challenge imprisonment
The family of disgraced British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell has said new evidence such as 'government misconduct' could be used to challenge her imprisonment. The 63-year-old was found guilty in December 2021 of luring young girls to massage rooms for paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein to molest between 1994 and 2004. Advertisement She was sentenced to 20 years in prison at the federal court in the southern district of New York (SDNY) in June 2022. The US government has faced a backlash from president Donald Trump's support base following words from attorney general Pam Bondi that there was no evidence Epstein had a 'client list'. Donald Trump's US government has faced a backlash from his support base (PA) Maxwell's family have frequently claimed she 'did not receive a fair trial', but legal appeals against her sex trafficking convictions have been rejected by the courts. Judges previously dismissed her lawyers' arguments that she 'should never have been prosecuted' because of a 'weird' agreement drafted more than 15 years ago – concluding that the Florida agreement 'does not bind' the United States Attorney's Office for the SDNY. Advertisement The US justice department has reportedly written to the Supreme Court to ask a judge to further deny Maxwell's appeal against her convictions. During her three-week trial in 2021, jurors heard prosecutors describe Maxwell as 'dangerous', and were told details of how she helped entice vulnerable teenagers to Epstein's various properties for him to sexually abuse. In a statement, the disgraced socialite's family said: 'Our sister Ghislaine did not receive a fair trial. 'Her legal team continues to fight her case in the courts and will file its reply in short order to the government's opposition in the US Supreme Court. Advertisement 'If necessary, in due course they will also file a writ of habeas corpus in the US district court, SDNY. 'This allows her to challenge her imprisonment on the basis of new evidence such as government misconduct that would have likely changed the trial's outcome.'

'He's the ultimate dealmaker and I'm sure he'd agree that when the United States gives its word, it should keep it.

Donald Trump dismisses inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein as ‘boring'
Donald Trump has dismissed a secretive inquiry into the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as 'boring' and of interest only to 'bad people', but said he backed the release of any 'credible' files, as he sought to stamp out a conspiracy-fuelled uproar among his supporters. The US president is facing a political crisis within his usually loyal Republican 'Make America Great Again' (Maga) base over suspicion that the administration is hiding details of Epstein's crimes to protect the rich elite he associated with, which included Trump. One of the most dramatic theories circulating among supporters is that Epstein – who killed himself in 2019 while in federal custody – was murdered by powerful figures to cover up their roles in his sex crimes against children. 'I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody,' Trump told reporters on Tuesday night when asked why his supporters are so interested in the case. 'It's pretty boring stuff. It's sordid, but it's boring, and I don't understand why it keeps going. 'I think really only pretty bad people, including fake news, want to keep something like that going,' he added. 'But credible information, let them give it. Anything that is credible, I would say, let them have it.' During his election campaigns, Trump fuelled multiple conspiracies by his Maga movement, including that the country is controlled by shadowy 'deep state' elites. This has caused deep paranoia among his base, who are now, unusually, questioning their leader over the Epstein controversy. Last week, the justice department and the FBI announced that a review of the case files had confirmed that Epstein had killed himself, and there was no list of his clients to be made public. Conservative allies of the president have focused their anger on the attorney general, Pam Bondi, who was leading the case, as she had previously said Epstein's client list was 'sitting on my desk right now to review'. Several other high-profile conservatives have called for Trump to make public everything known about Epstein. Even his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, a Fox News host, has been critical, saying: 'I do think that there needs to be more transparency on this.' On Tuesday, Mike Johnson, the speaker of the House, called for the Justice Department to make the document public, breaking with Trump in a rare moment of friction between the allies. 'It's a very delicate subject, but we should put everything out there and let the people decide it,' Johnson told Benny Johnson, a rightwing podcaster, in an interview released on Tuesday. 'I agree with the sentiment that we need to put it out there.'
