Family of dog-attack victim Ramon Najera sues San Antonio over his death

The family of Ramon Najera — the 81-year-old veteran killed in a 2023 dog attack that drew national headlines — has sued the city of San Antonio, saying it bears responsibility for the tragedy. The suit, filed Friday in San Antonio Federal Court, alleges city officials knew the pit bulls that mauled Najera and his wife Janie were dangerous and had been involved in previous attacks. Despite that history, the filing argues, the city returned the canines to their owners, setting the stage for Najera's death.
