From [HERE] The white man or racist suspect charged with murder in the Nov. 23 shooting death of 17-year-old Jordan Davis outside a Jacksonville Gate station now faces wrongful death, emotional distress and defamation lawsuits.

Davis’ parents and those of two teens in the Dodge Durango where he died in a hail of gunfire filed separate lawsuits Thursday against 46-year-old Michael David Dunn. Statements that the teens cursed at and threatened Dunn and had a shotgun were defamatory, according to the lawsuits.

“From the second he went to his car to open the glove box [to get his gun] to the 10th shot, there is terrorism happening in those moments either by intent or negligence,” attorney John Phillips said.

Dunn’s current attorney, Cory Strolla, could not be reached for comment.

The arrest report said Jordan was in the SUV with friends when Dunn and his girlfriend, who were in town for his son’s wedding, pulled next to them at the Southside Boulevard convenience store. Dunn complained about loud music coming from their SUV, then fired multiple shots during the confrontation. Dunn’s first attorney, Robin Lemonidis, said he saw a shotgun, was threatened and didn’t know if they were gang members. Police said they found no shotgun.

The victims were made out to be thug-like aggressors, tarnishing their standing in the community, according to the lawsuits.
