HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- An employee at a 7-Eleven in Hollywood is brain dead after she was allegedly attacked by a manager, according to the victim's family.

Last Tuesday around 2:10 p.m., Los Angeles police responded to a battery call at the convenience store at Melrose Avenue and N. Arden Boulevard.

Police said there was a fight between two employees. One of the employees, Jessica McLaughlin, was taken to a hospital.

A GoFundMe campaign set up by McLaughlin's family says she was attacked by one of her managers.

Jessica's brother says the manager sat on top of her and didn't let her breathe.

"I don't know what, how we're gonna get past, it's gonna be a hard road, it's gonna be a struggle to get, to get past this one. I can't even explain. I'm just lost, I feel," said Sean McLaughlin.

McLaughlin's family says she's brain dead, and they are raising money for her funeral.

Police say the suspect is not in custody.

"Our hearts are with those impacted during this difficult time," 7-Eleven said in a statement. "The suspect has been terminated, and we continue to fully cooperate with law enforcement in their investigation."

Oh my! That actually makes more sense. Do we have a picture of the perp?

Is the reason why they don’t have a picture of the suspect because she wouldn’t fit in the frame?

Strangely enough from the pictures i have seen on x she seems to be a pretty young girl, not at all somebody you’d expect to be able to kill another woman with their bare hands

And if she hasn’t been arrested, then maybe there’s more to this story than the headline says.

The picture, from doing a search, shows the victim is pretty. However, I don’t see a picture of the accused. At least I don’t think I’ve seen it.

I looked again and found very different pictures of the accused. In some she looks really pretty, in others she seems to be a lot heavier, with lots of ugly tats. I don’t know which are older. I don’t want to post her name, but it’s easy to find.

Suspect not in custody, no name, no pic, no description.

Are you sure it’s the suspect? Could you post the picture or a link?

I’d say there’s more...

Per the above, the police haven’t corroborated the family’s claims nor have the police named the assistant manager as a suspect.

The perp is the big, tatted up thug. The victim is the pretty, green haired woman. The perp manager killed her much more attractive worker.

Women are the worst when there is another woman who is prettier than her. She was probably getting more attention from customers and the manager didn’t like it.

I wonder if, like auto accidents, some drug was involved. What a damn shame any way. Where do these monsters come from?

Ok, so i found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=XEoEuG__DS0&t=6s from a local tv station with pictures and name of the accused. I’m not sure if it’s here, so take it with a grain of salt.
