The lawsuits — which were filed on the same day by the same law firm — allege that Star Ballroom Dance Studio should have known about “similar incidents of criminal activity” in the area and failed to “take reasonable steps and to employ security measures” such as “security guards, video cameras and adequate lighting” in order to “protect patrons.
A day after the dance studio shootings, the gunman killed himself after being pulled over by police officers outside a Torrance strip mall. The lawsuits seek an unspecific amount of monetary damages from the estate of Tran and from the dance studio. Representatives for the estate and the dance studio could not immediately be reached for comment.
