Walmart sued after teen steals machete and kills her Uber driver

The family of an Uber driver murdered on the job in Illinois is taking Walmart to court. In a Cook County lawsuit, (PDF) the family of driver Grant T. Nelson alleges that the retail giant was negligent when it allowed the murder suspect to steal a machete and a knife before walking past security personnel without being stopped.
The girl has been charged with murder as an adult in connection to Nelson's death, and she remains jailed without bail.
Now you can get into legal trouble for not noticing a thief? It's in Walmart's interest to catch them all, but still enough slip through the monitoring. With a similar argumentation, you could sue police for not stopping her.
