Law firm readies lawsuit against Lubbock man for deadly mass shooting in Odessa

A law firm on Thursday said family members of two mass shooting victims will file a lawsuit against a Lubbock man. The lawsuit is expected Friday in Ector County.

The Sloan law firm claimed in a written statement that Marcus Braziel of Lubbock sold a firearm negligently to Seth Ator who was identified by officials as the shooter on August 31, 2019 in Odessa. Seven people died (not including Ator) and many others were wounded.

Police shot and killed Ator outside a theater in Odessa.

“According to the suit and media reports, Ator obtained his weapon illegally from Marcus Anthony Braziel, a Lubbock gun dealer who is one of the defendants,” a law firm press release said.

“Braziel’s home was raided after the shooting and more than two dozen guns were seized by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives,” the press release also said. “Braziel is the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation by the Northern District of the U.S. Attorney’s office.”
