DailyKenn.com — Patricia McKay, 68, was dragged to death during a robbery attempt at a Newport Beach, CA shopping mall.
Arrested were Malachi Darnell, Leroy McCrary, and Jaden Cunningham.
McKay and her 69-year-old husband — tourists from New Zealand — were attacked while waiting to be picked up outside the upscale shopping center. One of the suspects held a gun to the head of McKay's husband and demanded his watch, forcing him to the ground. When they were unable to get the watch, the suspects turned their attention to Patricia McKay, who was holding shopping bags, prosecutors said.
The victim was dragged into a parking lot. Prosecutors allege that Cunningham grabbed the bags McKay was holding, throwing her to the ground in the process and dragging her into the street in front of a Camry.
One suspect was "clotheslined" by a bystander while attempting to flee — sticking out his arm to strike the man as he ran, knocking him to the ground. The other jumped into the Camry. A third man, driving the getaway car, ran over McKay before the two men fired shots and led police on a high-speed chase into Los Angeles County.
The media failed to mention the attackers were black and the victims white.
