PORTLAND, Ore. — The family of Manuel C. Garza IV, who was fatally shot in a parking lot in Southwest Portland on May 8 filed a wrongful death lawsuit against security guard Eric Salisbury who, despite discharging his weapon during the altercation, was cleared, the security company he owns, and his employer, The Gan Preschool.

On May 8, 32-year-old Garza drove into the The Gan Preschool located at Jewish Community Center and Preschool.

Salisbury was working as a uniformed armed security guard when Garza drove into the lot before returning and driving through at an unsafe speed, almost striking 53-year-old Salisbury. As Garza drove into the neighboring parking lot at the next door Fanno Creek Medical Clinic, Salisbury followed him.
