What systemic failures allowed a repeat offender deemed incompetent to stand trial to possess a firearm, resulting in the death of an innocent bystander?

On November 7, 2023, 18-year-old Jillian Ludwig was fatally struck by a stray bullet while jogging in Nashville. The lawsuit alleges negligence by multiple parties, including the city, state, and medical professionals, for failing to prevent the shooter, Shaquille Taylor, a repeat offender with a history of violence, from possessing a firearm. Taylor's release, despite being deemed incompetent to stand trial, is central to the claim.
