Innocent bystander killed in Deep Ellum nightclub shooting was single mother
Friends say a Houston woman who died after being struck by a stray bullet in Deep Ellum early Wednesday morning was a single mother in town for spring break.
A lawsuit filed by Jones’ family said the bar should have done more to keep customers safe because of Deep Ellum’s recent history of violent crimes.
The suit claims the defendants "failed to ensure sufficient security measures, personnel, guards and patrols at Bitter End, as well as failing to ensure adequate access controls to prevent loitering, to reasonably ensure the safety of their premises despite being located in an area where crime is prevalent."
The family is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.
