DC Man Faces Murder Indictment In Stabbing At Maryland Popeyes

OXON HILL, MD — A Washington, D.C., man was indicted Tuesday in connection with a fatal stabbing last month outside a Popeye's restaurant in Maryland.

Ricoh McClain, 30, was indicted on charges of common law murder and carrying a dangerous weapon with intent to injure, according to Prince George’s County State's Attorney Aisha Braveboy. McClain is accused of fatally stabbing Kevin Davis, 28, on Nov. 4 during an argument outside a Popeyes Restaurant in Oxon Hill.

Officials had named McClain as a suspect last month and asked for the public's help locating him in connection with the stabbing. He was arrested not long afterward.

According to earlier reports, police believe McClain and Davis had argued over Davis "butting in line" of customers waiting to get the rereleased Popeyes chicken sandwich. They took the argument outside and, within seconds, Davis was stabbed, police said.

Prince George's County Police Chief Hank Stawinski said Davis entered the store at 6247 Livingston Road and methodically cut in line over the next 15 minutes. Once he made it to the counter, someone behind him confronted him. Fifteen seconds later, he was on the sidewalk in front of the store with stab wounds that would prove fatal, Stawinski said.

Police arrived and tried to save the man's life, but he died 51 minutes later at the hospital.
