A DoorDash driver was allegedly lured to a Chick-fil-A parking lot by a woman he had an affair with and then was shot by her bitter husband on Saturday, authorities said.

The pair fled the scene but later surrendered to police, giving conflicting statements to officers, ABC News reported.
The victim, who ended the affair three months ago after his wife found out, claimed to police Bishtawi said he had to die because he dishonored his wife, according to KHOU.
The victim told prosecutors that Alolaimi wouldn’t leave him alone after the breakup, showing up at his home, the outlet reported. He’s reportedly afraid the couple might target him again.
