Police are on the hunt for a man who shot a Miami Taco Bell manager after he was refused service early this morning, officials said.

According to the manager, the trigger-happy taco-craver showed up at the restaurant at 630 NE 79 St. shortly after 3:30 a.m., and tried to place an order at the drive thru.

Employees, who were closing up for the night, told him that they were no longer serving food. The man, described as in his twenties, became enraged, pulled out a gun and fired at the manager, hitting her in her right leg.

The suspect then made a run for it in his white SUV.

The manager was transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital where police said she was in good condition.

Anyone with information is urged to call Miami Police at (305) 603-6350 or Crime Stoppers of Miami Dade at (305) 471-TIPS.
