Police say the case remains under investigation with no arrests.

Overview

  • Footage shows multiple women punching and stomping employee Tikerra Hicks as a man also kicks her before staff and bystanders pull her away.
  • Hicks says she was later suspended by Walmart, telling local media she was ambushed after returning from the bathroom.
