Los Angeles authorities responded to a report of a violent confrontation at a convenience store in Hollywood on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, around 2:10 p.m. Local police confirmed that two individuals employed at the 7-Eleven establishment were involved in a physical altercation.

One of the employees, Jessica McLaughlin, sustained serious injuries from the incident and was transported to a medical facility for treatment. According to information gathered by McLaughlin’s relatives through a fundraising initiative, it was alleged that a manager at the store was responsible for her injuries.

The family members of Jessica McLaughlin state that the manager employed aggressive tactics during the attack, reportedly positioning himself upon the victim and potentially restricting her ability to breathe properly. Her sibling, Sean McLaughlin, expressed profound sorrow, describing the emotional toll of the situation as overwhelming and incomprehensible. He commented, “I don’t know what, how we’re gonna get past, it’s gonna be a hard road, it’s gonna be a struggle to get, to get past this one. I can’t even explain. I’m just lost, I feel.”

Law enforcement officials have confirmed that the individual accused of the assault is no longer employed by the 7-Eleven chain. A representative from the company issued a statement expressing sympathy, noting, “Our hearts are with those impacted during this difficult time,” while also mentioning that they have terminated the suspect’s employment and are cooperating with ongoing investigations.

Legal counsel representing Jessica McLaughlin’s family announced their intention to pursue full accountability and seek justice for the incident.
