Family Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Ex-Wife, Four in Woodland Hills Doctor Murder

The family of Dr. Hamid Mirshojae, who was fatally ambushed and shot outside his Woodland Hills medical office in August 2024, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against his ex-wife, Ahang Mirshojae, and four alleged co-conspirators. Prosecutors allege that Ahang Mirshojae orchestrated the murder-for-hire plot motivated by jealousy and financial gain, enlisting Evan Hardman as the gunman, Ashley Rose Sweeting as the getaway driver, Sarallah Jawed to aid in evading arrest, and Shawn Randolph to supply the ghost gun used. The lawsuit also accuses Ahang Mirshojae of fraudulently transferring assets to shield them from legal consequences, with the family seeking recovery of those assets under the state's Uniform Voidable Transactions Act. The widow, Ghazal Simorgh, expressed living in fear since her husband's murder and is pursuing justice both criminally and civilly. The case highlights a calculated and cold-blooded act of violence that deeply affected the family, including their young daughter. Authorities have arrested all five suspects, and legal proceedings are ongoing.
