told news station KTLA<\/a> that his daughter\u2019s brain was deprived of oxygen for more than 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\u201cShe\u2019s basically declared brain-dead now,\u201d he said Monday. <\/p>\n
He claimed that the suspect bullied his daughter and that she pulled her by the hair as McLaughlin was leaving work on the day of the attack.<\/p>\n
Her family said McLaughlin collapsed after she was able to get free of her attacker. She told her co-workers to call 911, saying she couldn\u2019t breathe.<\/p>\n
The 911 caller told the Los Angeles Fire Department that McLaughlin was unconscious and someone had performed CPR on her but that she did not revive. She was taken to the hospital in grave condition, according to the LAFD. <\/p>\n
Her family claims that the manager attempted to delete security camera footage of the confrontation while co-workers were performing CPR and calling for help. The manager fled on her bike, McLaughlin\u2019s family alleges.<\/p>\n
Police have not released a description of the suspect. Detectives have obtained video evidence of the scene but are not sharing it with the public at this time, police said. <\/p>\n
In a statement, 7-Eleven said the employee involved in the fight had been fired and that it was cooperating with police in their investigation.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur hearts are with those impacted during this difficult time,\u201d the company said in a statement.<\/p>\n
McLaughlin\u2019s family said she was an innocent victim, according to the GoFundMe post. <\/p>\n
Her family said she never regained consciousness and suffered severe brain damage due to a lack of oxygen.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer brain had stopped functioning. After getting second opinions and doing everything we could, we have to make the impossible decision to let her go,\u201d Sean McLaughlin said.<\/p>\n
