Kandi Burruss Scores Win After Atlanta Restaurant Shooting Lawsuit Is Dropped

Earlier this year, Kandi Burruss announced that she was leaving the drama of Real Housewives of Atlanta behind after 14 seasons. Now, she can leave some of the legal drama resulting from a scary event that happened at one of her restaurants in the past as well.

Back in 2020, three people were injured in a shooting at Kandi’s restaurant, Old Lady Gang. One of the victims was a 14-year-old girl, Kiya Humphries.

In the aftermath, Kiya’s mother Tammy Johnson filed a suit against Kandi and the shopping center where OLG is located. However, court documents show that Tammy has decided to drop the suit.

The case against Kandi was dismissed and can’t be refiled

 

Via InTouch, court docs show that Tammy asked for the lawsuit to be dismissed with prejudice. So it can’t be refiled, even if new evidence about the shooting emerges.

Per the papers, Kiya, Tammy, and three other family members visited OLG on February 14, 2020. One family member saw two men arguing in the parking lot.

The suit revealed that “Kiya Johnson was near the front of the restaurant in the waiting area not far from the door.”

It continued, “While waiting to be seated at Old Lady Gang, a man entered and was near the front of the restaurant. Shortly afterwards, a second man, who was wearing a red tracksuit, entered Old Lady Gang. Upon information and belief, the men who entered Old Lady Gang were the same men who were arguing in the parking lot prior to the shooting.”

Tammy alleged red tracksuit guy began shooting. One of the bullets struck Kiya in the calf. She needed medical attention, surgery, and therapy.

“Kiya Humphries has experienced severe physical and emotional pain and suffering as a result of the gunshot wound she sustained…”

Additionally, she believed OLG and the shopping center should take greater safety measures. “As a direct and proximate result of the failure of Defendants Old Lady Gang II, LLC and/or Old Lady Gang Concessions, LLC, and/or Old Lady Gang’s Southern Cuisine LLLP to exercise ordinary care in keeping the Old Lady Gang restaurant premises and approaches safe, Kiya Humphries suffered a gunshot wound and severe bodily injury.”

Tammy was seeking unspecified damages in the now-dismissed suit.
