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.”

“You shouldn’t leave your keys in the car. You have teens walking up and down the street and that could be a liability.”
Haven’t even had the funeral service yet, but already got that civil action going.
Some greedy plaintiff lawyer might take the case.
They will. And more often than not, the insurance company will throw money at it, because it’s not worth the risk.
Ridiculous; next they'll want to sue the car manufacturer!
The kid paid for his stupidity with his life. Notice how van killed him instead of the dumbass girlfriend driving it.
any attorney that brings this case to court should be beaten senseless...
“Kashontez”
The name says a lot.
The van was an “attractive nuisance?”
Better call Saul!
Better Call Saul
Steal a van, kill a "passenger" riding on the front of it and blame the owner of the stolen van for the death of the boy who got run over.
Only in America.
Can’t let the tragic loss of a son go to waste.
Cops do it on a regular basis, they are called: Bait Cars.
I wonder if they mean the INSURANCE on the vehicle?
What is the legal standpoint on your car insurance covering an accident by a driver who stole the vehicle? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything on that.
Am I the only one confused by how poorly written this piece was?
Not an amish. Family should lose suit and pay fines for wasting time and money.
