A beauty store employee tried to stop shoplifters. Now, she’s fighting for her life
LA TimesAn employee at the M Beauty store in Commerce was assaulted last week and remains hospitalized. The employee “fell to the ground headfirst causing her to lose consciousness,” the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement on last week’s incident. “It’s very heartbreaking to see that this happened to her,” said Daniel Min, who owns and runs the M Beauty store with his parents. It happens everywhere, and I feel like it’s getting worse and worse.” Sandoval said his daughter had urged the store to invest in more security, but Min said security guards also can often do little in the face of such thefts. “If someone from the community knows anything or has seen anything related to this case, please notify the sheriff’s office,” Sandoval said, noting that people have the option to remain anonymous.
