75-Year-Old Woman Dies After Indiana Restaurant Fight

FORT WAYNE, Indiana (WLKY) -- An Indiana woman is speaking out after her mother died following a fight inside a restaurant.

Investigators say 75-year-old Anita Grayson got into a fight with a teenage worker at the Tim Hortons in Fort Wayne.

A shift lead then stepped in and told Grayson to leave, which is when a fight broke out.

Video provided by Fort Wayne police shows Grayson sitting down then collapsing in the store.

She was rushed to the hospital, where she died.

Family and supporters gathered for a protest, accusing the city of editing the video and not being transparent.

"I want justice for my mom. Y'all cannot deny it. That everybody that seen what happened to her. Is that how we treat the elderly people in the community?" said Tawnda Grayson, Anita's daughter.

Police say the incident is still under investigation.

The coroner has not yet determined her cause of death.
