Texas Veteran Sues Hotel Indigo After Fatal Self-Defense Shooting, Citing Lack of Security
- StewartWood Injury Lawyers
A decorated Texas veteran who intervened in a hotel assault is suing the Hotel Indigo in Waco after fatally shooting the attacker in self-defense. Jason Nelson, who was hailed a hero for his actions, claims the hotel lacked proper security measures, including security personnel, working cameras, and trained staff, which forced him to defend himself and the victims. He seeks damages for physical and emotional suffering, lost wages, and medical expenses. He hopes that the lawsuit will encourage the hotel's management to improve their overall safety and security efforts. If successful, Nelson plans to donate any money awarded back to the community.
