Walmart Employee Killed in Alleged Attack by Man Who Believed He Was Being ‘Stalked by a Demon,’ Reports Say
Police say Zeddrick Ross stabbed the Walmart employee with a knife stolen from Walgreens after claiming he was defending himself from a demon.
- On Tuesday, 37-year-old Zeddrick Ross killed 32-year-old Jordanne Drinkwater at a Conway Walmart on Skyline Drive; authorities say the two did not know each other, and Drinkwater was "just working her normal shift" when attacked.
- Ross told detectives he was "attempting to kill a demon that had been following him," though he allegedly admitted realizing after the stabbing that the victim "was not the demon" he thought he was killing.
- Conway Police Department officers arrived within one minute on Tuesday to find Ross armed with a knife; after he refused commands to drop the weapon, an officer fired a shot before another used a Taser to subdue him.
- Michelle, Ross' mother, said he had a history of mental health struggles and stopped taking Zoloft; she expressed devastation for Drinkwater's family, stating, "I just hope they never let him out."
- Ross remains held in the Faulkner County jail on a $1 million bond following his first-degree murder charge; he previously faced misdemeanor theft and obstruction charges in 2020 and 2022, court records show.
