The District Attorney's office has filed a lawsuit against The Bonding Company and the seven men accused of killing a young Clarksville father, after a case of mistaken identity.
"The loss is still ever present and it will never be OK," said Cathrine Davila, Milan's cousin.
Police said Jalen Milan was gunned down by a bail bondsmen with Keesee Bonding and Eagle Bonding in a case of mistaken identity.
"It's seems that when you are already operating outside the confines of the law you let going to say whatever you have to say to substantiate your case. In this particular case I think that's what the bondsmen are doing," said Davila.
The District Attorney's office questioned how Keesee Bonding runs its business. Last week, the District Attorney's Office filed a civil suit against Keesee Bonding and seven men after they claim laws were broken in the murder of Milan.
"I think the bondsmen were not only acting it responsible but I wonder how many other people had this happened to? It makes me question every action they've taken prior to Jalen's situation," said Davila.
According to the suit, Keesee Bonding provided cash to an addict to purchase cocaine from the man they were hoping to capture, William Ellis. Yet, Ellis was not in the car, and when gun fire broke out, Milan's life was taken.
The family hoped the courts can prevent another family from experiencing this type of pain.
"Everyone wants justice. It's not going to bring him back but again it'll keep his dying from being in vein," said Davila.
Eagle Bonding was the other company that employed the bail bondsmen who are accused of killing Milan.
They were not in the suit filed by the District Attorney's Office.
