Relatives of Victim Allege Lives Endangered


The family of Frank Brooks III, a 17-year-old shot and killed
during an argument at a New Orleans party last June, is suing
The Times-Picayune for allegedly endangering their lives
by publishing their address.

In a suit filed last week, the family members sued the paper,
seeking damages for moving expenses, funeral costs, mental
anguish, and other claims.

According to a Times-Picayune account of the lawsuit, the
family said they kept the address secret because of three
attempts on the life of Brooks' brother and his grandmother.
