The family of a Denver teenager who was sitting in his car outside his school last year when he was shot and eventually died has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the school district.

Luis was 16 years old when he was shot and killed outside East High. The lawsuit alleges DPS failed to protect Luis when it removed police officers from schools.

In the wake of both shootings, DPS faced heavy criticism from parents and educators about its discipline policies and a 2020 vote by the school board to remove school resource officers from Denver
