Live Nation faces wrongful death lawsuit after Gorge Amphitheatre shooting

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- The families of a Seattle couple who were killed in a shooting at the 2023 Beyond Wonderland at The Gorge EDM festival in Washington have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the event organizers and security companies working the event.

The lawsuit was filed against Live Nation on April 10, claiming the company's "egregiously deficient" security protocols led to the shooting, which killed 29-year-old Brandy Escamilla and 26-year-old Josilyn Ruiz and injured three others.
