An argument broke out when Cheney called Otto a derogatory name and the argument was taken outside.

Court documents said Otto then punched Cheney, who then turned and stabbed Otto and a Wendy’s manager.

Otto was then taken to hospital, where he died from his injuries. The second victim was treated and released.

Both attempted murder and murder “are punishable by life in prison without the possibility of parole.”

Cheney is reportedly being held without bail at OCCC and is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
