FedEx driver is fired after black woman's Ring doorbell camera caught him using disgusting language while delivering a package

Published: 21:51, 20 July 2026 | Updated: 21:51, 20 July 2026 A Fed-Ex driver has been sacked after his racist language was caught red-handed on a Ring Doorbell camera.  The shocking incident unfolded outside realtor Shawnna Murrell’s West Plaza office in Kansas on Wednesday afternoon, after the driver arrived with a delivery but appeared to become frustrated while trying to contact the recipient. Instead of simply leaving the package, the uniformed driver was caught on camera standing over the entrance as he snarled ’What the f**k is this n*****‘s number?’ Murrell later shared the footage online, prompting a swift response from FedEx, who according to Murell, confirmed the unidentified employee is no longer with the company. According to the Kansas City Star, Murrell had just returned from a Kansas City Planning Commission meeting when she noticed she had missed a Ring doorbell notification from just 13 minutes earlier. Expecting to see little more than a routine delivery attempt, she opened the recording  only to be met with the jaw-dropping abuse. Murrell said the racist obscenities stopped her in her tracks. ‘I kind of stopped,’ she recalled. "I was kind of taken aback. Like, 'I know that’s not what he said.'" A Kansas City real estate broker was shocked after she reviewed footage from her doorbell camera to find a racist remark had been directed at her by a FedEx driver delivering a parcel Shawnna Murell shared the shocking footage online in a bid to make others aware that encounters like hers are still occurring regularly Certain she must have misheard, she immediately replayed the clip. ‘Sure enough,’ she said. ‘I could hear it clear as day.’   At first, Murrell hoped the hateful remark hadn’t been aimed at her. Her office building houses multiple businesses, and delivery drivers regularly end up at the wrong door. But any doubt quickly vanished when she stepped outside, Murrell found the package sitting at her entrance - addressed to her business. ‘When I picked up the envelope and saw that it was a delivery for my office, I knew that obviously he had to be referring to our business when he said what he said,’ she shared. The disturbing footage was later posted online, where it quickly circulated social media and caught the attention of FedEx management. Murrell said a local FedEx manager was the first to call after his girlfriend showed him the viral video. Later that day, FedEx corporate officials reached out to Murrell to apologize and informed her that the drivers employment had been terminated He immediately recognized the driver, escalated the incident through the company’s chain of command and personally apologized, she said. Hours later, FedEx corporate representatives also contacted Murrell to apologize and informed her the driver was no longer employed by the company. In a statement, a FedEx spokesperson condemned the driver’s conduct, saying, ‘The behavior depicted in the video is unacceptable and inconsistent with our company values.’ Although she welcomed the company’s swift response, Murrell said she hopes the former employee takes a hard look at the hatred behind his words and reflects on what led him to use the racial slur in the first place. ‘I hope that he does realize the impact that he’s made not only on me as a stranger, but on the community and on his family,’ she said. ‘I hope he seeks to figure out what’s going on inside of him to help him be a better person.’ Murrell said she initially shared the video because she wanted people to understand that encounters like this can happen unexpectedly and why she tries to prepare herself mentally and spiritually every morning. 'Words have weight!' she said.  The Daily Mail has reached out to Murell and FedEx for comment.
