California police have released chilling surveillance footage that shows two men fatally shooting a cook because his service was too slow. Raul Lopez was gunned down at Hoagies And Wings in Sherman Oaks around 11 p.m. on Friday night after five men grew irritated during the wait for their order.

The men allegedly yelled racial slurs at Lopez, who escorted them outside after picking up a chair. As he returned to work, one of the men shot him in the chest with a semi-automatic weapon. The suspects all fled in a black Escalade immediately after the shooting.

Lopez, 38, was reportedly the lone provider for his wife and five children, who are all 16 and under.
