A Saturday morning altercation involving co-workers in the cafeteria of an Intel semiconductor facility in Chandler, Arizona, left one person dead, another injured, and a third jailed, police said.

Derrick Lemond Simmons, 50, was booked into jail on charges of first degree murder and aggravated assault, Chandler police said in a statement.

Employees who witnessed the incident told police Simmons struck the victim with a baseball bat multiple times following a shift change, according to a probable cause statement filed in support of his arrest. Simmons also used a hatchet and knife, the document alleged.

When another coworker at the same cafeteria table confronted Simmons, he struck the person on the back of the head with the bat, the document alleges.

The victim, who died from what police said appeared to be blunt-force trauma, has not been publicly unidentified. The second person attacked was hospitalized with injuries not believed to be life-threatening, police said.

A motive or information about what preceded the incident were still under investigation, they said. Simmons was arrested in 2001 on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to the probable cause statement. Details about that case were not immediately available.

It wasn’t clear if Simmons has retained legal counsel for the case. The Maricopa County Office of the Public Defender did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

After the alleged attack, officers found Simmons in front of the building where the incident took place, according to the court filing. He held a black and blue bag that contained the weapons, the document alleged.

He told arriving officers he believed they were looking for him and surrendered, the probable cause statement said.

Man allegedly kills a co-worker at Intel facility in Arizona

CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP) — A suspect has been arrested after allegedly killing a co-worker at a microprocessor manufacturing facility in Chandler with a baseball bat and other weapons and injuring another man, authorities said Sunday.

expect a lawsuit against Intel for hiring a convicted felon..plus it's a violent assault background. A double-whammy that's going to cost them 10's of millions for gross-negligence.

Actually California Arizona apparently has a ban-the-box law that prevents employers from checking criminal backgrounds.

So now they can add suing the state for gross-negligence.

Thats a difficult point. On one side he could be a different person. But on other side, he was same person.
So apart from legality issues, this person lost his life.

The Dangers to U.S. & Worldwide Employers from 'Ban the Box' Legislation

To prevent job applicants with criminal records from automatic hiring rejection, cities and states are considering and already adopting so-called “Ban the

www.employmentlawwatch.com

What legal risks do employers face in complying with these well-intended prohibitions? Imagine the following situation and the “no-win” choice:

• The federal Occupational Safety & Health Act (“OSHA”) and state and local safety and health laws mandate a safe workplace.
• Already in place is a “Ban the Box” law that prohibits an employer from conducting any investigation or inquiry into any job applicant’s criminal history prior to a conditional job offer and, after that, no more than three years prior to the application date.
• To comply with the “Ban the Box” legislation, “you” conduct no initial investigation into the criminal history of any applicant for the position of maintenance worker on the evening shift.
• After a thorough review of all applications, résumés, references, and interviews to determine who is best qualified, “you” make a conditional offer of employment to that candidate.
• “You” now conduct a criminal background investigation into his criminal history, but “going back” no more than three years, as permitted by the “Ban the Box.”
• A farther-back criminal history investigation would have revealed numerous prior convictions for aggravated assault and other violence by the candidate.
• You hire the candidate.
• The new hire assaults a fellow employee.
• The victim sues your employer and you individually for negligent hire, violation of federal and local safe workplace laws, and other legal causes of action.
• The court declines to dismiss the lawsuit on the basis of your employer’s required compliance with the no-criminal check law.
• A jury gets the case after hearing the victim’s attorney close with, “My client would not be here asking for relief had this employer and its HR Department spent only a few minutes and a few dollars to learn what we all know now about the individual they hired….”

This hypothetical scenario is tragic and regrettable in three ways. First, the victim may not have become a victim had the “Ban the Box” law permitted the employer to conduct a full criminal history. Second, even if the jury finds in the employer’s favor, the employer’s public image and its ability to recruit and keep employees might never recover from the inevitable media onslaught during the trial. Third, if the jury finds in the victim’s favor, the damages awarded could be significant.

Why do you always have to post a picture? Especially when the culprit is black? Does that make him less American?

Because the going theme over and over here on PDF is crime (especially against Asians) is primarily due to white supremacists.
