The father of ten-year-old Amerie Jo Garza, one of the 19 children killed in the Robb Elementary School shooting, is demanding the gun manufacturer of the AR-15 used in the shooting hand over any communications they had with the Uvalde shooter who purchased and used their firearm.

The father, Alfred Garza III, is also seeking any information from the company about its marketing, especially to teenagers and children. He is backed by two high-profile trial lawyers from Texas, Mikal Watts and Charla Aldous, as well as Josh Koskoff, a Connecticut lawyer who won a landmark settlement for Sandy Hook families against Remington, the gunmaker they argued had illegally marketed the firearm used by the shooter.

The attorneys representing the Uvalde father penned a letter to Daniel Defense, the gunmaker of the AR-15 and a company that has become notorious for its aggressive marketing to children and teenagers.

“My purpose for being now is to honor Amerie Jo’s memory,” Garza said in a statement. “She would want to me to do everything I can so this will never happen again to any other child. I have to fight her fight.”

“Daniel Defense has said that they are praying for the Uvalde families,” said attorney Josh Koskoff. “They should back up those prayers with meaningful action. If they really are sincere in their desire to support these families, they will provide the information that Mr. Garza has requested without delay or excuse. Either way, we will do a complete and thorough investigation, leaving no stone unturned.”
