We're now learning that a wrongful death and negligence lawsuit was filed on Sept. 1, 2026 by Jennifer Ortiz, identified by the complaint as the Special Administrator of the Estate of Quinonez.
The suit alleges that JERMAC owned the property where the shooting took place, and failed to "implement adequate security measures [on the premises]."

Quinonez was remembered by the Las Vegas community at a memorial event last year, hosted by LVAC at HUDL Brewing Co.
