The father of ten-year-old Amerie Jo Garza, one of the 19 children killed in the Robb Elementary School shooting, is demanding the gun manufacturer of the AR-15 used in the shooting hand over any communications they had with the Uvalde shooter who purchased and used their firearm.

The father, Alfred Garza III, is also seeking any information from the company about its marketing, especially to teenagers and children. He is backed by two high-profile trial lawyers from Texas, Mikal Watts and Charla Aldous, as well as Josh Koskoff, a Connecticut lawyer who won a landmark settlement for Sandy Hook families against Remington, the gunmaker they argued had illegally marketed the firearm used by the shooter.

The attorneys representing the Uvalde father penned a letter to Daniel Defense, the gunmaker of the AR-15 and a company that has become notorious for its aggressive marketing to children and teenagers.

“My purpose for being now is to honor Amerie Jo’s memory,” Garza said in a statement. “She would want to me to do everything I can so this will never happen again to any other child. I have to fight her fight.”

“Daniel Defense has said that they are praying for the Uvalde families,” said attorney Josh Koskoff. “They should back up those prayers with meaningful action. If they really are sincere in their desire to support these families, they will provide the information that Mr. Garza has requested without delay or excuse. Either way, we will do a complete and thorough investigation, leaving no stone unturned.”

Daniels Defense will not enjoy this litigation

Lawyers for the family of a 10-year-old victim of a Uvalde gunman have requested marketing material from the Georgia-based manufacturer behind the AR-15-style assault rifle used to kill 21 people at Uvalde’s Robb Elementary School.

The legal team, which is representing relatives of Amerie Jo Garza, hasn’t filed a lawsuit. But one of its members won a $73 million settlement for nine families of victims in the Sandy Hook shooting after pioneering a legal theory that the marketing of the gun used in that shooting violated fair-trade laws in Connecticut.

In a joint letter, the lawyers asked officials with Daniel Defense, the gun manufacturer, to preserve evidence including marketing plans, social media campaigns and advertising. The letter was sent by Mikal Watts of San Antonio, Charla Aldous of Dallas and Josh Koskoff of Bridgeport, Connecticut. They represent Alfred Garza III and Kimberly Garcia, the parents of Amerie Jo.

“My purpose for being now is to honor Amerie Jo’s memory,” Alfred Garza said in a statement released by the law firms. “She would want to me to do everything I can so this will never happen again to any other child. I have to fight her fight.”

In their letter to Daniel Defense, the lawyers ask that records, including the company’s online purchasing database and their communications with the 18-year-old Uvalde shooter, be preserved. The gunman purchased a DDM4 rifle, which is classified as an AR-15-style weapon.
