Walmart shoplifting spree turns deadly

Elkton, MD -- The accomplice of the woman driving the getaway car at a Walmart shoplifting spree was backed over and killed as the driver was attempting to flee the scene.

The karma incident occurred on Saturday at the Elkton Walmart at around 1 a.m., according to CBS Baltimore.

Three thieves, whom police identified as Chermain Mayo, Donisha Harris, and Kaneesha Cunningham were involved in the crime that ended in tragedy.

A security guard spotted the three thieves as the exited the store with about $1,000 in stolen merchandise. He followed them out into the parking lot and attempted to take photos of the license plate of their vehicle.

"In an attempt to conceal the tag, the victim, Kaneesha Cunningham, jumped on the trunk of the vehicle and tried to use her body to cover the tag," Police Department Captain Joe Zurolo said.

According to cops, while Cunningham was on the back of the vehicle, the driver, Mayo, reversed and hit the curb which caused Cunningham to become trapped under the car. When Mayo, [not the brightest of the trio, evidently] reversed again, she ran over Cunningham.

So Mayo and Harris fled on foot but were soon apprehended [aka 'caught'] by authorities.

Cunningham, 38, was pronounced dead on the scene.

"For me, it's really sad to see that someone could just dehumanize someone like that and leave the scene," Capt. Zurolo told the media. "It's crazy, I mean a total disregard of life in my opinion. They didn't even attempt to at least render air."

Mayo is charged with negligent manslaughter and negligent auto homicide. Harris has been charged with theft. They will both spend a little time in jail, be released and blame society or President Trump.

"No need for it to rise to that level of violence where someone loses their life," Zurolo said. "Totally outrageous."

Cunningham will likely be a serious nomination for a posthumous Darwin Award for boldly jumping on the vehicle.
