Tuesday 29 November 2022 07:42 PM Mother of Uvalde victim plans to sue gun manufacturer and police officers over ... trends now The mother of a ten-year-old killed in the Uvalde Elementary school massacre in Texas last May filed a suit Monday against gun distributors and law enforcement officers who were at the scene of the shooting. The mother, Sandra Torres, claimed that negligence on the part of all named parties led to the death of her daughter, Eliahna Torres, 10. 'Eliahna loved her family, and she knew how much we loved her,' said Torres via a news release. 'I miss her every moment of every day.' 'I have brought this lawsuit to seek accountability. No parent should ever go through what I have,' added the heartbroken mother. Sandra Torres holds a picture of her late daughter Eliahna Torres, who was killed during the Uvalde school shooting in May Eliahna Torres, 10, was one of 19 school-aged victims shot to death by a crazed gunman in Uvalde, Texas in May. Her family is now suing the city, county, and a number of law enforcement officers Children and community members mourn the 21 dead following the Uvalde school massacre in May 2022 The defendants in the case include former school district Police Chief Pete Arredondo, the former acting Uvalde Police Chief Mariano Pargas and gun manufacturer Daniel Defense. Arredondo, Pargas and Daniel Defense are also facing separate cases filed in federal court in September by the families of some who survived the shooting. Arredondo was ultimately fired due to his response during the shooting, though he has said he took all 'reasonable actions' that day. Pargas also left his post two weeks ago, after Uvalde city leaders announced they were planning to fire him. He was in charge of the city's police force on the day of the shooting and had been on paid administrative leave since July. The resignation arrived days after CNN published damning audio and video that showed Pargas failing to act and properly relay pertinent information about the unfolding attack. In a November interview, Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin said that Pargas 'will not be a member of the Uvalde police department. At the very latest at the end of the week, if not sooner.' Pargas subsequently resigned his post. The suit was filed Monday in Del Rio, Texas, becoming the first legal action taken by the family of a child murdered during the shooting. The Torres family is seeking unspecified punitive damages. On the day of the shooting, officers waited 77 minutes after arriving at the school before engaging with the gunman Salvador Ramos. Eliahna was one of 19 young students and two teachers who were killed on May 24 at Robb Elementary School in the small town about an hour north of the Texas-Mexico border. Lt. Mariano Pargas resigned his post in mid-November as the acting Uvalde Police Chief after it became clear that he was going to be fired Former school district Police Chief Pete Arredondo was ultimately fired because of his inadequate response during the shooting, though he has said he took all 'reasonable actions' that day Her mother, Sandra, continues to attempt to process her grief. 'It's like sometimes it feels unreal like you know, it's just a bad dream,' she told ABC News back in August. 'You know, she's going to appear one day and then reality hits and my baby's never coming back.' Her mother recounted how beloved by her family and friends her daughter was and specifically her love of softball. The legal complaint mentions that Eliahna never made it to her final game of the season, which had been scheduled for the evening of the shooting. 'She hated sweating (despite the Uvalde heat), but she had fallen in love with playing softball and was a promising young infielder,' read the complaint. The family is also suing the city of Uvalde, the county of Uvalde, the Uvalde School District, the gun shop where the killer weapons were procured and the gun manufacturer.
