The site of a former ice cream parlor, 15th and Chris, at 201 15th Avenue, was opened by Purifoy. It has won several local awards for its hamburgers. The business expanded to include a mobile food truck.
On January 22nd, 2023, fire crews responded to the blaze just after 8 p.m. at the 15th and Chris Restaurant on 15th Ave. after a witness and neighbor reported seeing the flames. Emergency responders found flames out in front of the building, as well as heavy fire pushing from the back door.
Purifoy’s attorney, Elder Granger II, claimed that the family had been receiving threats for more than a week leading up to the fire.
Granger said Purifoy was attacked by three men while he worked in his food truck on the night of the fire. He claimed that Purifoy was left unconscious in the truck while the men set fire to the business.
According to Granger, Purifoy woke up and drove away from the scene. A police officer pulled him over and took him to a hospital. He reportedly suffered third-degree burns to 25% of his body.
On April 13th, 2023, Purifoy was accused of leading police on a high-speed pursuit due to driving an uninsured vehicle on a suspended license.
