From Fox News:
Jennifer Read has filed a petition seeking to take custody of Chad Read’s children from their mother, Christina Read.
She has also filed suit against Kyle Carruth and Vitruvian Development LLC for her husband’s shooting death, according to KCBD. She is seeking $50M in a wrongful death lawsuit.
Jennifer Read claims Carruth failed to de-escalate the confrontation and used a gun even though no physical threat to life or property existed. The lawsuit states she and Chad Read went to his ex-wife’s place of business trying to find Chad’s youngest son.
— Advertisement — The suit claims Carruth “interjected himself” into an argument Chad and Christina were having, as Chad was trying to find where his son was. The suit claims Christina continued to violate their custodial arrangement.
Last week, Jennifer Read released mobile phone video that shows the argument, Carruth going into the home and then returning armed. The video of the deadly confrontation has gone viral.
