  • Lastly, the Fraternity is being sued. Kelley & Witherspoon, attorneys for the mother of Pierre Malone, a 16-year-old high school junior from Garland, TX who was fatally wounded in a shooting May 23 in downtown Dallas, filed a $31 million lawsuit Wednesday against Eddie Deen's Ranch and Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. Mr. Malone had gone with friends to Eddie Deen's Ranch at 933. S. Lamar for a fraternity-sponsored party billed as Ice Storm II. The suit alleges that the fraternity and facility managers were negligent in not stopping the party after earlier reports of violence and in failing to provide sufficient guards or off-duty police officers, better lighting and more vehicle exits. A spokesman for the fraternity's national headquarters did not return calls Wednesday.

Until next time,

Bro. Gerald
