ROME, GEORGIA: A "jealous" ex-boyfriend of a mother-of-seven fatally shot her in broad daylight before turning the gun on himself at the drive-thru of Chick-fil-A in Georgia. On Wednesday morning, April 5 at around 7 am, Cassie Davis was shot at Truett's Chick-fil-A in Rome's Shorter Avenue.

Green had been "following her around"
Talking to Fox 5 Atlanta, Davis' grieving mother Kathie Walters said that despite her daughter and her ex-boyfriend no longer being together, he still had "following her around." According to the Rome State Police, after being shot, Davis' vehicle rolled down an embankment from the drive-thru's pick-up lane.
In the past, both ex-partners were believed to be in a domestic relationship. Green could not let her go and was described as a jealous person, according to Davis' family who said they never thought Green would murder her. The family said Davis was "loving, caring and would give the shirt off her back to anybody."
'A good mother of seven'
Davis had children ranging in age from 5 to 18 years old and Walters said she was a "good mother of seven." Recalling the incident, she said, "It seems like a dream...I just want to wake up."
"Nobody thinks anymore, they're killing children, they're killing adults. There were more women out there, there was no use in taking her away," said Davis' aunt Effie Wilson who believes the fatal shooting was senseless.
Following the horrifying tragedy, Greg Major, General Manager of Chick-fil-A restaurant issued a statement. "We are currently cooperating with the police who are investigating. No other guests or team members were hurt but we mourn with the community. We have closed the restaurant for the day to repair and care for team members. Thank you for your patience during this time; we plan to reopen tomorrow," read the statement.
