'We've finally gone too far,' says son of 83-year-old man who died after confronting a shoplifter
The son of a Home Depot worker who died after confronting a shoplifter last year says there needs to be "consequences" for these crimes, which are at an all-time high according to some retail experts.
Employee Gary Rasor asked a shoplifter for a receipt as he was exiting a North Carolina Home Depot store last October when the 26-year-old suspect Terry McMillian Jr. violently shoved him to the floor. Rasor died from his injuries a few weeks later after turning 83 years old.
Jeff Rasor told ABC's "Nightline" on Thursday that his father Gary loved his job and never dreamed it would endanger his life.
"I would like very much for people to understand that my dad would want, right, people to focus on this and say, 'we’ve finally gone too far,'" he told "Nightline."
The man who shoved Rasor has been charged with robbery and first degree murder and his case is currently pending, the Hillsborough Police Department said.
