Mother Sues Walmart After Daughter Dies In Fire In MN Store Lot

(Minneapolis, MN)  —  A woman is suing Walmart after her daughter died in a fire in the store’s parking lot north of Minneapolis.  Essie McKenzie accuses the retailer of negligence and wrongful death due to a lack of oversight.  The suit claims Walmart has a policy that welcomes RV campers to stay overnight in their parking lots.  The plaintiff’s daughter died in August 2019 when a fire spread from a recreational camper to a car where six-year-old Ty’rah White was inside.  The victim’s nine-year-old sister was badly disfigured.
