AURORA, CO – Losing a child is difficult, regardless of age.
Often grieving families turn not only to legal recourse, but also civil lawsuits against those responsible.
However, in a case out of Colorado, the grieving family who lost their teenager who fell out of a stolen vehicle which ran him over is seeking civil relief from the victim of the car theft.
The incident when the teenager was killed occurred on October 18th in Aurora, Colorado at Village Green Park.
The Aurora Police Department reports that 14-year-old Kashontez Grigler was riding as a passenger in a van which was stolen by his girlfriend.
Grigler was allegedly hanging on the front of the stolen minivan and fell off, causing the stolen vehicle to run over him. The girlfriend and driver of the stolen van took off on foot but later returned to the scene.
Kashontez’s father, Kasseem Grigler, spoke about the enormous loss of his son:
“It’s hard to cope. We haven’t had his funeral services yet. Until we can get that under control, it’s going to be hard to move on…It hurts, it’s hurting all of us.”
Kasseem said that Kashontez’s girlfriend, the one who allegedly stole the van, is also hurting over what he terms as an accident. He said:
“She [the girlfriend] was my son’s homecoming date. It’s not even easy for her. They were friends and it was an accident.”

His son shouldn’t have been stealing a car. I hope he loses.
In ancient Egypt the jobs of "law enforcement" (such as it was) and "scribe" were well-deliniated - thanks to Al "who-invented-the-internet" Gore, such is no more.
I should have made it more clear that I was speculating that he was in the front of the van to try to stop them.
Stolen vehicle was found guilty of manslaughter and sent to the junk yard for disposal, no further investigations is required
