The family of a Seattle couple gunned down at an EDM festival at The Gorge last summer have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Live Nation.
Parents and siblings of 26-year-old Brandy Escamilla and 29-year-old Josilyn Ruiz have filed a suit against Live Nation, its event organizer subsidiary Insomniac Holdings, and the security companies working the Beyond Wonderland EDM festival the weekend of June 17.They say Live Nation and other organizations had "egregiously deficient conduct and security protocols" that led to the devastating shootings that killed Escamilla and Ruiz, and injured five others.
The lawsuit alleges that, despite Live Nation and The Gorge’s strict policies against drugs and weapons, they "woefully fell short" of enforcing them."Those failures cost Brandy and Josilyn their lives," the lawsuit reads.Other victims of the shooting include 31-year-old Andrew Cuadra or "August Morningstar," who was shot in the shoulder. Kelly’s girlfriend was also injured in the shooting, as well as 61-year-old security officer Lori Williams.
