Detroit sisters charged in brutal stabbing and throwing hot grease on chicken eatery employee over order dispute

A pair of Detroit sisters, one of whom is nine months pregnant, have been charged with a brutal attack on an employee at a local chicken restaurant in an order dispute that escalated to violence.

The May 30 incident went down at the eatery on Motown’s east side, where Brianna and Kierianna Long became incensed over an incorrect order and attacked a 23-year-old employee, allegedly chasing her around the restaurant located at the 17100 block of E Warren Avenue, throwing pans, hot grease, and stabbing the victim in the stomach.

“I’m going to kill you,” prosecutors said one of the sisters threatened during the assault, according to local media.

“The victim threw items at the sisters during the attack, including the knife that was later used to stab her, before fleeing the restaurant to hide inside a stranger’s car while trying to get help. She was taken to the hospital and had to undergo surgery,” WKRC reported.

The sisters were later arrested after fleeing the scene and were charged with multiple crimes, including  “assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, and assault with a dangerous weapon,” according to the outlet.

Prosecutors said that 26-year-old Kierianna Long is accused of wielding the knife in the stabbing, with her 29-year-old sibling taking part in the assault and helping to drive away after the incident, Detroit Metro News reported.

Brianna Long was nine months pregnant at the time of the incident, having her baby four days before being arraigned.

Her defense attorney claimed that the restaurant employee told the two sisters that we “don’t give a f**k” about the incorrect order and threw items at them first.

She pleaded for leniency from the judge because she had a newborn baby to care for at home.

“The judge expressed serious concern that a food order error led to an alleged violent assault, resulting in him setting their bonds high,” ClickOnDetroit reported. “Brianna was given a $25,000 cash bond. Kierianna was given a $100,000 cash bond, but will be back in court on June 10 for a bond redetermination hearing. If bond is posted, they are required to wear a GPS tether.”

X users served up their takes on the incident.
