Jessica McLaughlin, a 24-year-old employee at a 7-Eleven in Hollywood, tragically passed away following a violent incident at her workplace. According to police, a dispute broke out between two women during Jessica’s shift on June 24, 2025. The altercation reportedly turned physical, leaving Jessica unconscious. She was placed on life support but was later declared brain dead. Her family made the heartbreaking decision to let her go.
Jessica’s relatives say the conflict involved her store’s assistant manager, who they claim had bullied her in the past. Witnesses reported seeing Jessica pinned to the ground, unable to breathe, before the suspect allegedly tried to delete store footage and fled the scene. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed they are actively investigating and have not yet made any arrests. A company spokesperson stated that the suspect has since been terminated and that 7-Eleven is cooperating fully with authorities.
Jessica’s family and coworkers remember her as compassionate, strong, and generous—a person who always stood up for others. Her father described her as a “green-haired warrior” with a giving spirit, while her brother wrote that she “saw the good in everyone.” Loved ones have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help with funeral and legal costs as they continue to seek justice.
As homicide detectives take over the case, the community remains in mourning. Jessica’s death has sparked calls for accountability and workplace safety. Her family is focused on preserving her memory with dignity and ensuring she is remembered not for how she died—but for the love, strength, and kindness she brought into the world.
