The family of Iryna Zarutska has initiated a lawsuit against the city of Charlotte and an unnamed security contractor, claiming that the defendants failed to implement proper protective measures at the location in question. According to court documents, the case centers on allegations of negligence regarding facility safety and personnel deployment.

Court filings detail claims that the defendants did not maintain sufficient enforcement protocols or adequate staffing levels necessary to ensure visitor safety. The lawsuit contends that these omissions directly contributed to the circumstances surrounding Zarutska’s case.

The legal action represents an effort by the family to hold both the municipality and the private security firm accountable for what they characterize as systemic failures in safety management. The suit seeks damages and remedies related to the alleged inadequacies in security and operational oversight.
