Some Excerpts :

Three weeks after a slain woman's family went public with her employer's refusal to pay out death benefits because she was killed in a racially motivated attack on the job, the company offered a settlement to the woman's son.
......

Talley was stabbed to death in the Fairfield, Calif., Dollar Tree where she worked in March 2006 by a white man who reportedly attacked her simply because she was black.
.....

While Talley's mother is thrilled this fight is nearing an end, her lawyer says Dollar Tree didn't offer the full amount.
.....

Stagliano was hired by Carol Frazier, Talley's mother, after Frazier was told she was being denied her daughter's death benefits she was hoping to use to send Talley's son to college.
.........

It was Taneka Talley's greatest wish to see her son head off to college. It was why she took extra shifts at work and set her sights on promotions.
