Deranged Man Allegedly Stabs Female Walmart Employee to Death; Believing He Was Killing a “Demon” That Was Stalking Him
A Walmart employee was stabbed to death on Tuesday night at the Arkansas Walmart Supercenter. Police said that it was a random attack.
Officers responded late Tuesday evening to reports of a male suspect stabbing a female employee, according to the Conway Police Department.
Officers responded very quickly and encountered the man, who they eventually identified as Zeddrick Ross, 37 years old. He was still in possession of a knife.
A Walmart employee was fatally stabbed during a late-night shift in a seemingly random attack, and the man told police he believed he was killing a “demon” that had been stalking him.
Officers were dispatched at about 10:58 p.m. Tuesday to reports of a man stabbing a female employee inside the Walmart Supercenter on U.S. 65, the Conway Police Department said.
Officers arrived within roughly a minute and encountered the suspect, later identified as 37-year-old Zeddrick Ross, still armed with a knife.
“Police said officers issued multiple commands for the man to drop the weapon, but he refused and advanced toward an officer. One officer fired a single shot that missed the suspect, and a second officer deployed a Taser.” Fox News Reported.
Police identified the victim as Jordanne Drinkwater, 32-years-old. Officers and medics provided emergency aid, but she died on scene.
Ross was arrested and is at Faulkner County Detention Center. He was charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond. Officers said that no one else was harmed in the attack.
The investigation is still open, but authorities said that Ross did not know the victim, and he did not work at Walmart. It appeared to be a random attack.
Ross believed that he was being pursued by a demon and had a knife to protect himself.
He stabbed Drinkwater several times, thinking she was the demon that was following him. He later explained to the authorities that she did not resemble the demon or person that was stalking him.
Friends described Drinkwater as “an amazing human being.” Her friends called her by her nickname “Puff.”
