The family of a Utah woman killed by her husband at Salt Lake City International Airport is suing Delta Air Lines, claiming company in-flight employees overserved the man with alcohol during an incoming flight.
Charlotte Sturgeon was killed on April 5, 2022 in an airport parking garage after she was run over by her husband, Shawn Christopher Sturgeon . The couple had been arguing after arriving home from vacation when video showed Shawn striking Charlotte with their SUV and then driving over her body.
Charlotte was initially transported to the hospital before she later died of her injuries.
Shawn Sturgeon’s blood-alcohol level was three times over the legal limit when he ran over his wife. Months later, he pleaded guilty to one count of criminal homicide and another count of domestic violence in the presence of a child.
FOX 13 News In their lawsuit filed Thursday, the family claims Shawn had consumed “multiple alcoholic beverages” before boarding a flight in San Antonio bound for Salt Lake City, and that Delta personnel served him “at least two additional alcohol beverages with high levels of alcohol content by volume.”
