The wrongful death and personal injury lawsuit accuses Leto of willful violence, and also names the Chicago Park District, claiming negligence on the part of park district officials who didn't fire Leto following a shooting incident he was involved in months earlier.

Marjay Dotson, 15, died in the June attack, and relatives say 14-year old Jeremy Herred Jr. is now a quadriplegic after being shot by Leto.
