The family of a stabbing victim who lay dying on the floor of a US convenience store as shoppers stepped over her body and took photos before calling for an ambulance has described their behaviour as "cruel''.
LaShanda Calloway, a 27-year-old mother of three who had dreams of becoming a model, was attacked with a knife inside the Noori Convenience store in Wichita, Kansas, on June 23.
The attack went largely unreported until Mark McCormick, a reporter at The Wichita Eagle, discovered that security camera footage of the incident showed shoppers wilfully ignoring the dying woman.
"The video showed the 27-year-old Calloway struggling to her feet and collapsing three times without anyone helping her,'' McCormick reported.
"Worse, one woman who stepped over Calloway four times while shopping eventually paused to snap a photo of her with a cell phone.
"And now, police are trying to track down photos of a dying Calloway that someone told them had been posted on the internet.''
Emergency service officers were eventually called to the store and Calloway was transported to hospital but she was unable to be saved.
Calloway's aunt, Sherry, told Kansas television network KAKE that her family was appalled by the shoppers' behaviour.
"It was bad enough that she lost her life, and for someone to stand around and gawk and want to take pictures of a dying person ... it was cruel.
"It wasn't funny. It wasn't cute. Why would anyone want to stand there and take a picture of someone dying? I don't have any understanding of that.''
Sherry said the youngest of Calloway's children "won't [get to] know her mother'', who had dreamed of becoming a model, loved to cook and lived for her children.
Wichita police spokesman Gordon Bassham told The Wichita Eagle: "This is one of the most disgusting examples of disregard for life I've ever seen. It is a very, very tragic video to watch. It was revolting to see this lack of humanity.''
Rashid Kazia, the owner fo the convenience store, said today he was not working when the attack occurred but had seen footage of it.
"I was not here. I see the video report. Two ladies is bothering each other. After that ... one lady brings the knife from the car. She tried to make a war for her, like a fight, and she was wounded and they left.''
Asked what he thought of the behaviour of the customers who ignored the wounded Calloway, Kazi would only say: "I do not know about that.''
Two suspects have been arrested in the stabbing. Cherish M McCullough, 19, was charged with first-degree murder.
Another suspect, who turned himself in a few days later, had not yet been charged on Tuesday, according to the Sedgwick County prosecutor's office.

This is horrible, but I'm much afraid we will see news like this more and more in the coming years. There has been other incidents like this (not as appalling, but still) where people have ignored someone who needs help because she is sick or like that. I also remember that last winter the newspapers wrote about a woman who had been waiting for a bus when her husband came and started pulling her and their two children away from there. The mother screamed for help, but the other people in the bus stop (I understood there were more than just a couple) apparently igonored the whole situation as best they could :|
There was also a women just a few months ago, who died in a hospital waiting room, she was laying on the floor coughing up blood, twice two other people called 911, by two different people, saying that the staff were ignoring her, and got told that they were already at hospital so they wouldn't do anything.
Oh...? Ignored in the hospital. That is shocking.... How is it possible...? I know they are busy in there but still....
Yeah, apparently she'd come in and they'd discharged her, saying it was just stomach pains. She was laying on the floor, throwing up blood, and the janitor was cleaning around her.
that's terrible!
Some people say, "Don't meddle in other people's buisness," but this goes too far!! It's impossible to think that this can happen in our day and age!
I can't believe the women stopped to take a picture though, I mean thats just disgusting.
yeah that fact that she took the picture and diddn't stop to help is even more disgusating!
Yeah she must have been stepping over her thinking, should I take a picture, or shouldn't I?
forget about the picture lady! help the poor women!
I'm giving it 10 to 1, that it was a teenage girl!!!!!!
yeah your probably right! wow i bet she feels really bad now..
