An 18-year-old freshman at Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, tragically lost her life in a shooting incident that has led to a wrongful death lawsuit being filed by her parents. Jillian Ludwig, a talented musician and beloved member of the community, was fatally struck by a stray bullet while jogging near the university campus.
The lawsuit, filed in Davidson County, alleges negligence and recklessness on the part of multiple defendants, including the city of Nashville, the state of Tennessee, the Nashville Metro Development and Housing Agency (MDHA), Belmont University, and others. It claims that a series of failures allowed the shooting suspect, Shaquille Latrelle Taylor, to illegally possess a firearm and discharge it in the area where Ludwig was running.
