Little Caesar's Pizza shooter turns himself in, Winston-Salem police say

Winston-Salem police said Christopher Paz turned himself in after shooting into a Little Ceasars Pizza's drive-thru on Silas Creek Parkway.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — A man turned himself in Monday after firing a gun inside a Winston-Salem Little Caesars Pizza's drive-thru last Thursday, according to police. 

The shooting happened at the restaurant located at 1401 Silas Creek Parkway around 3:24 p.m.

When officers arrived at the pizza place, they said no one was shot. Winston-Salem spoke with a drive-thru employee who said the suspect was upset with the order that he received at the drive-thru window. As a result, the suspect pulled out a firearm and shot once into the drive-thru window in the direction of the employee. 

The bullet hit the interior wall of the business but no one was injured. 

The suspect was last seen leaving the drive-thru driving a tan or brown Quad Cab Dodge pickup truck.

Police searched the area for the suspect but they did not find him until the WSPD Gun Crime Reduction Unit (GCRU) was able to identify Christopher Paz as the suspect. 

Once Paz turned himself in, he was charged with the following:

  • Discharging Firearms into Occupied Dwelling
  • Discharging Firearms in City Limits
  • Attempted Assault with a Deadly Weapon
  • Assault by Pointing a Gun
  • Injury to Personal Property

Winston-Salem police said he is currently behind bars under a $100,000 bond. 

Anyone with any information regarding this investigation is asked to call the Winston-Salem Police Department at 336-773-7700, Crime Stoppers at 336-727-2800, or En Espanol at 336-728-3904. You can also view “Crime Stoppers of Winston-Salem Forsyth County” on Facebook.
