UMVA has learned that a horrific showdown unfolded inside a Detroit chicken joint on May 30, when two sisters stormed the kitchen and unleashed a brutal assault on a young employee.
The clash began with a simple mistake—a wrong food order—but quickly escalated into a nightmarish frenzy. According to information obtained by UMVA, the sisters surged behind the counter, hurling pans, hot grease, and anything they could grab at the 23‑year‑old worker.
Witnesses say the air filled with the sizzle of scorching oil as the attackers slammed heavy cookware into the victim, chasing her across the cramped floor while shouting threats of death.
In a terrifying climax, Kierianna Long plunged a knife into the employee’s abdomen, forcing the injured worker to flee and scramble into a stranger’s vehicle, pleading for help as blood pooled beneath her.
Paramedics rushed the victim to the hospital, where surgeons fought to save her life, while the sisters vanished from the scene, only to be seized by police hours later.
Both women, Brianna Long, who was nine months pregnant at the time, and her younger sister Kierianna, now face a litany of charges: assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to cause great bodily harm, and assault with a dangerous weapon.
In court, defense attorneys painted a different picture, claiming the employee’s profanity‑filled outburst ignited the violence and that the sisters only reacted after she allegedly tossed a knife.
Despite those arguments, the sisters entered pleas of not guilty. Brianna, who gave birth just four days before her arraignment, was released on a $25,000 cash bond, while Kierianna remains behind a $100,000 bond.
The brutal episode has left the community shaken, a stark reminder of how quickly a routine mistake can spiral into a lethal confrontation.
