The family members of victims from the Monterey Park mass shooting and a survivor have filed lawsuits against the shooter’s estate and the Star Ballroom Dance Studio. The lawsuits, lodged in Los Angeles County Superior Court, claim the studio was aware of prior criminal activities nearby but failed to take preventive measures like security guards and cameras. This tragedy, which occurred on January 21, 2023, resulted in 11 deaths and numerous injuries, deeply impacting the Asian American community in Monterey Park on the eve of Lunar New Year.
The lawsuits allege that Star Ballroom Dance Studio failed to implement reasonable security measures despite prior knowledge of criminal incidents in the area.
Tuesday marked the two-year anniversary of the Monterey Park mass shooting, remembered as the deadliest in Los Angeles County history, targeting a majority Asian community.
