A Houston father expected a Burger King order at his front door.

What his Ring camera recorded instead was a DoorDash driver walking onto the porch completely naked, setting down the food and heading back to his vehicle.

Kiante Matlock’s daughter was home when the delivery alert came through. That detail turns an already bizarre stunt into something far more disturbing.

FOX 26 Houston reported that the incident happened August 24 at Matlock’s home on the northeast side of Houston, near Homestead. He had been playing a video game while his daughter was also home when she noticed the delivery notification on his phone.

Matlock checked the camera and initially thought the driver might have been wearing a skin-colored outfit. Then he realized the man had no clothes on.

The driver was gone before Matlock reached the door. Matlock threw away the food, contacted DoorDash and received a refund.

The broadcast showed the heavily censored Ring-camera recording alongside Matlock’s account of what happened. It also displayed DoorDash’s response and made clear that the company had removed the driver from its platform.

Matlock said the possibility that a child or woman could have opened the door made the behavior especially alarming. His own verdict was blunt: “It’s just sick.”

This was not someone caught in an accidental state of undress inside his own home. The driver traveled to a customer’s address, handled the order and approached a family’s front door that way.

Fox News Digital reported that DoorDash called the experience abhorrent and said the driver’s behavior violated its standards. The company reached out to Matlock and permanently removed the driver’s access to the platform.

DoorDash also said it does not tolerate sexual harassment or misconduct and was prepared to assist law enforcement with any investigation. No arrest or criminal charge had been publicly announced in the reports available at publication time.

The company’s removal of the driver was the obvious first move. But customers will reasonably want to know how a person willing to do this made it through a delivery route in the first place—and whether there were any earlier warning signs.

Delivery apps are built on a basic exchange of trust. A stranger is given a customer’s address, walks onto private property and handles food intended for a family.

That arrangement only works when the platform treats safety and judgment as nonnegotiable.

Matlock had a camera. He saw what happened before anyone opened the door, preserved the evidence and reported it.

Every customer should be able to expect a food delivery without needing that kind of warning system.
