The parents of slain Georgia high school football star Elijah DeWitt are suing the mall where he was killed, claiming its owners ignored serious safety risks to their son’s ultimate detriment.
DeWitt, 18, was fatally shot on Oct. 5 outside a Dave & Buster’s in an attempted robbery outside the Sugarloaf Mills Malls in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
