## Key points

- Julia Hyman’s parents have sued the Park Avenue tower’s owner and security firms.
- The claim alleges failures in emergency alerts and lift lockdowns.
- The family is also considering legal action against New York City.

## Summary

The parents of Julia Hyman, who was killed in a 2025 shooting at a Midtown Manhattan office tower, have sued the building’s owner and security firms. Their wrongful-death claim argues that failures in security and emergency response contributed to her death and calls for accountability.

The lawsuit alleges there was no effective system to alert occupants to an emergency and that the lifts were not locked down. The gunman, Shane Tamura, entered the 44-storey building intending to reach the NFL’s offices on the fifth floor, but took a lift to the 33rd, where Hyman worked. He killed Hyman and three other people; the family is also considering a separate claim against New York City.
