The mother of the man shot and killed by a fired University of Cincinnati police officer has asked a judge to allow her to oversee his interests in a wrongful death claim.
No lawsuit has been filed in connection with the July 19 killing of Samuel DuBose by ex-UC Police Officer Ray Tensing. But the estate is being opened in Hamilton County Probate Court "to pursue a claim for wrongful death," according to documents filed Monday.
DuBose's mother, Audrey, has asked to be appointed as administrator of the estate. DuBose was not married.
The family is being represented by attorneys Mark O'Mara, Michael Wright and Al Gerhardstein.
