Parents Sue Tuskegee University After Son's Shooting Death

News summary

The parents of La’Tavion Johnson, an 18-year-old killed during a shooting at Tuskegee University, have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the university and several others, including the former police chief and security contractors. The suit alleges inadequate security measures were in place despite previous violent incidents on campus, which allowed the suspect, Jaquez Myrick, to enter and open fire, resulting in Johnson's death and injuries to 16 others. Myrick was arrested with an automatic weapon but has not been charged with the murder, although the lawsuit accuses him of killing Johnson. Another individual, Jeremiah Williams, is also charged with possession of a machine gun but denies firing any shots. The lawsuit claims negligence on the part of the university and its contractors for failing to secure the campus during the homecoming event. The family seeks accountability from the university and other involved parties for the tragic incident.
