According to the police, a 50-year-old man in Arizona fatally beat a coworker to death with a baseball bat in a workplace cafeteria.

On February 18, police in Chandler, Arizona, arrested 50-year-old Derrick Simmons for the murder of one of his coworkers and the attempted murder of another at the Intel chip factory.

Chandler police officers made the arrest and transported Simmons to a detention facility where he is being held on suspicion of first-degree murder and aggravated assault.

Court filings show that at around 6:15 a.m. on Saturday, Simmons allegedly attacked individuals in the cafeteria at the Intel Ocotillo Campus, hurting two of them.

One of the victims was discovered dead in the cafeteria of the facility, with evident symptoms of blunt-force trauma. Another victim was located and sent to the hospital for treatment of his injuries.

Following the departure of the night shift workers, Simmons allegedly went up to a table where one of the employees was sitting and hit him over the head with a baseball bat several times.

According to the court documents, Simmons used the bat to strike another employee in the back of the head when the man came to the help of his colleague and confronted Simmons.

The suspect was arrested after he was observed outside the building with two bags.

Intel Arizona’s representative, Linda Qian, issued a statement confirming the incident. She said that police had arrived and were assisting the company’s security staff with the investigation.

Authorities in Chandler have stated that while their investigation is still in its early phases, they have already decided that there is no threat to the public. They issued a statement on Facebook about the murder.

The dead victim was identified as Dan Foster, 49, and Jaron Williams, 27, was the injured colleague, according to police.

Simmons was arrested by the police and sent to the Maricopa County Jail where he is being held on a $1 million cash bond.

It appears from the court records that this is not Simmons’ first brush with the law. According to available records, the suspect has a criminal history and was once convicted of aggravated assault with a lethal weapon.
