This happened across the street from my employer... and the "suspect" is a former co-worker.

simple assault? homicide in commission of a crime is first degree murder in most states.

That’s horrible poor woman. I’m assuming they will charge the suspect for theft and manslaughter.

Depending on what was being stolen, it should be either a murder charge or a manslaughter charge against the thief if he wasn’t the one who knocked her down. If he was, an easy murder conviction.

According to witnesses, the alleged shoplifter ran her over.

Police said employees at the 2500 Forest Hills Road store were chasing a suspected shoplifter Wednesday when someone ran into Pender. She fell and hit her head and died two days later.

Good grief. If they could detain the shoplifter safely for the police, fine. Chasing him through a crowded store filled with people - where the odds of some random bystander getting knocked over are excellent - is just stupid.

You know what’s going to happen? Walmart is going to get sued for the chase.

That’s why these store FIRE YOUR BUTT if you try to apprehend a crook, safely or not.

It’s a darn shame, and I guess the sign of a corrupt culture.

Let’s just say that someone with a eighth grade education “thought” they saw you put something in your pocket at home depot. Of course you didn’t, and this person was just an idiot...

Once you exited the store they perused you and in the process ran down a elderly person and that person died...

Are you at fault? Wake up...
