Overview

  • Fort Wayne police, which released full surveillance footage Tuesday, said it was needed to correct misleading clips on social media.
  • The video shows Anita Grayson, 75, entering to complain about a drive-thru order on May 13 and a dispute with a 17-year-old escalating when a 20-year-old shift lead intervened.
  • Police say Grayson shoved and struck the shift lead, then pulled out a chunk of the worker’s hair before staff separated them.
  • After the fight, Grayson sat at a table and lay on the floor about 10 minutes later, was found unresponsive by a responding officer, and died at a hospital despite lifesaving efforts, with preliminary reporting citing no significant contributory injuries.
  • The cause and manner of death remain pending, the investigation is ongoing with no charges announced, and the family says she had congestive heart failure as they press for answers.
