22-year-old Slim Chickens suspect charged with first-degree murder
JACKSON, Tenn. — In our continuing coverage, details emerge after a court appearance following a shooting at Slim Chickens.
Jackson Police Department officers responded to a shots fired call at the Slim Chickens restaurant Tuesday evening in north Jackson. The preliminary investigation suggests this was not a random incident and appears to have been targeted.
According to the affidavit, upon arrival, officer Simpson observed a gun shot victim, later identified as Andretti Siddel, laying on the floor behind the counter. Siddel suffered from multiple gunshot wounds and was later pronounced deceased at the scene.
The affidavit reveals that, during the investigation, authorities observed a restaurant employee attempting to conceal a hand gun in the kitchen area of the business.
The suspect identified as Harrison Cobb was questioned by investigators on his account about the events that occurred at the restaurant.
Cobb’s account as to what happened was determined to be inaccurate after investigators retrieved video surveillance footage from the business.
On surveillance video, Siddel and several other people could be seen entering the business and going into the kitchen area where Cobb was located and a physical altercation occurred.
Investigators say after the altercation, and while several people were attempting to leave, Cobb produced a handgun and fired multiple rounds at the subjects, striking Siddel. According to the affidavit, Siddel became incapacitated as he fell on the floor. Cobb then approached Siddel a second time and shot him several more times.
According to investigators, Cobb proceeded to walk around the kitchen for some time, made some calls, and then approached Siddel for a third time as he laid on the floor, still alive, and fired another shot in close range that appeared to be a fatal wound.
During the investigation, it was determined that Siddel was not armed. Cobb is charged with first degree murder.
Investigators say they located a Glock 40-caliber gun that Cobb had hidden, and collected seven 40-caliber shell casings at the scene.
