Homicide trial begins for Taco Bell manager accused of shooting, killing employee

SCOTT TOWNSHIP, Pa. — During the first day of Zaiyre Simmons’ trial, we learned he and Dorian Carver had an argument about a “write up” at work.

Police say what started as an argument, ended with Simmons shooting and killing Carver with a stolen gun.

Simmons was Carver’s manager at the Taco Bell on Cochran Road in Green Tree.

New surveillance video from inside the restaurant shows the two men at first bickering with each other, then physically fighting outside of the restaurant, as a co-worker tried splitting them up.

Carver ran down the street to the Northwestern Mutual office to make a phone call to be picked up.

Video played in court shows Simmons running after him.

Moments later, Carver was killed.

Carver’s family told Channel 11, the trial could go into next week.
