A Chicago homeless man was choked to death after a pharmacy manager chased him out of a store for stealing toothpaste and shocking surveillance camera footage from the incident emerged today.
The CCTV video shows Anthony Kyser running into an alley near the CVS after taking the toothpaste on May 8, 2010 and being followed by a store manager.
Kyser, 35, is cornered by the employee and after a brief struggle, Kyser falls the ground.
The video has led to renewed calls from local politicians to reopen the criminal investigation.
'This videotape presents an undeniable moment where his life was snatched from him,' said Rep. Bobby Rush, who has sent a letter to prosecutors demanding justice.
Police told that investigators had previously viewed the video before deciding not to file charges. CVS declined comment.
