Travonsha L. Ferguson was 24 years old and seven months pregnant in April 2023 when a Walgreens team leader who thought she was shoplifting followed her to her car and shot her several times, according to a lawsuit obtained by HuffPost .

In the civil lawsuit that the Tennessee mother filed against the pharmacy chain, she claims that she and a friend were followed from a Nashville drugstore by Mitarius Boyd, 21, an employee team leader who suspected them of shoplifting.

Lawyers for Ferguson claim that Walgreen Co. and an anonymous manager were negligent in failing to properly train and supervise Boyd. Boyd, however, is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit.

According to a statement by the Metropolitan Nashville Police following the incident, Boyd was notified by another employee that two women were stealing items from the store.
