The family of Gerardo Hernandez, the TSA officer who was shot a dozen times and killed while on the job at Los Angeles International Airport in 2013, has filed a $25 million wrongful death lawsuit against Los Angeles World Airports (which operates LAX), the city of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Airport Police, the Los Angeles Police Department, the Los Angeles Fire Department and Los Angeles County.
Hernandez’s widow Ana Machuca, who at the time was a manager of worldwide marketing budgets at Warner Bros., filed the suit Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of herself and the couple’s two children, Luis Hernandez and Stephanie Hernandez.
