Chicagoland : Man gets knocked out cold, no one helps, eventually gets run over by a cab and dies

Surveillance video released Wednesday captures the last moments of a popular hotel cocktail server who was punched and knocked unconscious, landing in a Near North crosswalk. The footage also shows more than a dozen bystanders failing to come to his aid in the nearly two minutes before a cab accidentally drives over him.

Marques Gaines, 32, died at an area hospital after the incident about 4:20 a.m. Feb. 7 outside a 7-Eleven store in the 400 block of North State Street.

At a Thursday morning news conference, Gaines' family members and their attorneys spoke to reporters about details of a recently filed lawsuit, gathering outside the 7-Eleven where Gaines was fatally injured.

Attorney Chris Hurley said the 7-Eleven's operator knew the area surrounding the store suffered from high street crime and should have had well-trained security that could have prevented the actions that led to Gaines' death.

"The simple reason we're here is that a corporation that keeps its stores open 24 hours a day and invites the public in … that knows that it's targeted by criminals needs to provide decent, competent, basic security, and that wasn't done here," he said.

Hurley also pressed for more police action in finding Gaines' attacker, who remains at large.
