St. Louis’ Crime Chime – Weekly Whirlwind of Woes: Aaliyah Moorehead’s Kirkwood Meltdown: From Lunch to Lockup
St. Louis’ Crime: Down in Kirkwood, thought it was a chill day
Sister’s pregnant, daughter want to play
Ordered up the food, but the plate came wrong
Now the fuse is lit and the temper’s strong
Aaliyah Moorehead wildin’, shouting at the crew
Mad about the meal and what the kitchen do.
Staff said “exit,” but she wasn’t gonna hear
Started throwing food, making fear appear
Hurled a chair at a worker’s chest
Put the whole spot under a wild stress test
Reached for the steel, cold grip in her hand
Letting self-control slip out like shifting sand.
“You’re gonna get it,” yeah, she let it ring
Looking for payback, feeling that sting
But her nine-year-old was caught in the scene
Sad reality in the space between
Aaliyah squeezed the trigger, didn’t check the lane
Endangering her daughter for a moment’s pain.
Bullet missed the worker, fridge and wall got hit
Lucky nobody felt that permanent split
Cops caught her down the road, about a mile from the scene
Now Aaliyah Moorehead faces time, you know what that means
First-degree assault, armed criminal action, too
No ten percent—cash only, nothing you can do.
One-fifty grand bond, that’s $150K
She’s locked in the County with regrets all day
Surveillance got the story, truth up on the screen
How a lunch gone wrong turned into a felony scene.
