The lone survivor of a mass shooting at a northern California mushroom farm is suing the farm’s owner for negligence in the attack that spanned two locations and left seven people dead and one person, Pedro Felix Romero Perez, injured.

Perez, 24, was shot five times, and his older brother Jose Romero Perez was killed in the 23 January 2023 shooting at California Terra Garden and Concord Farms in Half Moon Bay, a coastal community about 30 miles south of San Francisco. He is suing California Terra Garden and its owner, Xianmin Guan, for compensation for the physical and emotional trauma he is facing and for the financial losses he is incurring because he can’t work.
