A suspect was identified by police Tuesday in connection with the fatal stabbing outside a Maryland Popeyes location in a fight over the chain's wildly popular fried chicken sandwich.

Ricoh McClain, 30, is facing murder and assault charges for allegedly stabbing 28-year-old Kevin Tyrell Davis at a restaurant in Oxon Hill, outside Washington D.C. on Nov. 4, according to the Prince George’s County Police Department.

The suspect was identified by a police officer who saw the surveillance images from the Popeyes location and recognized McClain from previous investigation stops, the department said Tuesday.

McClain allegedly got in a verbal argument with Davis after the younger man cut in front of several customers waiting to order food.

Sources told police the line was designated specifically for those who were waiting to order the restaurant's in-demand chicken sandwich, according to NBC Washington.

Davis was stabbed after the men stepped outside, where the alleged fight continued.

it is a delicious feast. In my hometown a customer dumped a soda on a elderly woman while in line for the sandwich last week. He ran from the scene but was apprehended after falling into a draining ditch and severely damaging his leg. The woman stated he gave her his place in line but then demanded it back after manager told crowd they might run out
