HUNTSVILLE, Ala (WHNT) — The estate of a pregnant woman killed in 2022 is now suing the apartment complex where she was killed for wrongful death, along with the man criminally charged in her death.
The estate of Courtney Spraggins, who was shot and killed on Jan. 7, 2022 at the Weston Ranch Apartments, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the apartment complex earlier this month. The lawsuit also named David McCoy, Spraggins’ boyfriend and a former Huntsville Police officer who is facing charges of capital murder in connection with her death. Spraggins was 7 months pregnant at the time she was killed.

The lawsuit claims that both Weston Ranch and its management company are liable for Spraggins’ death due to failures to “properly monitor and supervise the complex” and for not providing adequate security. The suit also claims the complex was negligent in its hiring, training and supervising of McCoy as Weston Ranch’s courtesy officer.
