A violent episode unfolded at a Walmart in Indianapolis last week, drawing intense scrutiny and sparking outrage on social media. The shocking incident, captured on video, features a brutal attack on a Walmart employee by a group of individuals. Witness Kind Butler provided a distressing account of the scene, showing three women and a young man engaging in a savage beating.
The footage reveals a chaotic situation where one woman is seen holding down the victim while another delivers punch after punch. As the assault escalates, a young male joins in, kicking the victim, while a third woman continues to strike the downed employee. Over the roar of the fray, one assailant can be heard yelling, “Where he at, bi**h?!” The situation only calms when Walmart staff finally intervene to pull the victim away from the mob.
Butler, who recorded the incident, shared with FOX 59 News that the violent confrontation was rooted in familial vengeance related to an alleged crime. According to him, the assailants were relatives of a purported rape victim looking for retribution. “There wasn’t any questioning, no anything,” Butler recounted. “Just as soon as they saw the girl, the whole family came over and started beating her up.”
The victim, identified as Tikerra Hicks, clarified her role in the unfolding events. She stated that she had recently received alarming phone calls regarding an alleged rape involving a friend and claimed to be ambushed immediately after stepping out of the restroom at Walmart. “I just hear, ‘There she goes,’ and then boom on the side of my head, I feel somebody hitting me,” Hicks explained.
Hicks expressed bewilderment over why she was targeted. “It (the alleged rape) had nothing to do with me,” she told reporters. “I wasn’t there, even if it did happen, to protect him. And I wasn’t there to defend him either.” Despite being the reported victim of a mob assault, she revealed that she had been suspended from her job at Walmart while investigations continued.
Officials revealed that Hicks was named as an “other person” in a report related to an ongoing investigation into the alleged rape, yet she maintained her innocence throughout the ordeal. “I haven’t talked to any officers besides after the fight,” she stated.
As the details of this disturbing event continue to circulate, police have yet to make any arrests in connection with the violence at Walmart. The lack of immediate accountability raises questions about the broader implications of mob justice and the need for societal safeguards to prevent such incidents.
