The family of an 18-year-old college student who was killed by a stray bullet while exercising has filed a $50 million lawsuit against the university, the city, and the state of Tennessee, among others.

Jessica and Matt Ludwig, parents of the late Jillian Ludwig, filed the lawsuit earlier this month in Davidson County Circuit Court against Belmont University, the Metro Nashville government, and the state of Tennessee based on claims of wrongful death and conscious pain and suffering.

The complaint claims that their daughter’s murder was only “made possible by the multiple combined acts of negligence and recklessness committed by the Defendants.”
