On January 2, the press in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, announced that a 16-year-old teenager who was identified as Niesha Harris-Brazell died after being robbed at the self-service window of the Burger King store where she worked as a cashier.
Weeks later, police in Milwaukee pointed out that a Burger King employee confessed that the robbery was planned by her, her father and the victim.
The accusations came after a criminal complaint filed on Friday 14 January against the father of the minor who also participated in the robbery, Antoine Z. Edwards, aged 41 years old.

Derrick D. Ellis, who was charged last week with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, is known to have fled from the scene of the crime after the cashier fell to the floor.

“That is complete and utter nonsense. Actually, my granddaughter did not have to work. I had a grandmother who worked, a mother who worked, five aunts and an uncle who worked. My granddaughter only had to store what she needed or what she wanted. We were trying to instill values in him,” Ida Lane told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
