Eric Harrison, a 27-year-old security guard at Macy's in Philadelphia, tragically lost his life on December 4th. Now, his family is seeking justice for his death by filing a lawsuit against the department store and the building owners.
The story involves a shoplifter, Tyrone Tunnell, who attempted to steal hats from the store. Security guards caught him and retrieved the merchandise, but surprisingly let him go. Shortly after, Tunnell returned armed with a knife and fatally stabbed Harrison in the neck, injuring another security guard as well.
Harrison's family is heartbroken and believes Macy's failed to provide a safe work environment. Their lawyers aim to hold the store accountable for security lapses that they believe contributed to the tragedy. They plan to request various documents, including internal investigations and safety assessments, to support their claims.
Harrison's family remembers him as a hard-working young man, juggling jobs at Macy's and the U.S. Postal Service with dreams of a new apartment. This senseless act has left a profound void in their lives.
While Macy's declined to comment directly on the lawsuit, they expressed their condolences to the family. The incident has sparked further scrutiny about retail theft at the store, which reportedly faced hundreds of such incidents that year alone.
The suspect, Tunnell, has a history of shoplifting and drug-related offenses, adding another layer of complexity to this already devastating situation.
