MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The family of Ellie Young, the medical student who was shot and killed at Shelby Farms, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her accused killer and ex-boyfriend Jackson Hopper. Young, a student at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, was shot to death after a breast cancer walk at Shelby Farms Park in October. 27-year-old Hopper took law enforcement on a multi-county chase before he was taken into custody and charged with her murder. Man accused of murdering Ellie Young waives bond hearing He was later indicted on First Degree Murder and is currently being held without bond. During his last court appearance in November, Hopper temporarily waived his bond hearing. Nearly two months after the killing, Young's family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the alleged shooter and his mother, Martha Hopper. The Young family claims in the lawsuit that Hopper's mother was aware of her son's "prior violent tendencies" and she lied to Ellie's family when they expressed concerns that Hopper was "posing a dangerous threat to Ellie." Suspect in medical student’s death being held without bond The lawsuit states that Martha Hopper also knew that her son had "engaged in similar dangerous conduct with other girlfriends" and allegedly failed to inform Ellie's family when they told her they were going to get a restraining order against Hopper, "because of his assaultive behavior," and out of fear that his violence would escalate. A restraining order was never attained, but the lawsuit says the Young family discussed it after Hopper became "aggressive," and "controlling," toward Ellie in the months prior to her death, eventually leading to Ellie ending the relationship with Hopper. They claim Martha Hopper discouraged them from getting a restraining order and assured them that Jackson would never hurt Ellie. However, the Young family says they believe she made these statements to protect her son from criminal charges. "Ellie and her family relied on Martha Hopper's statements to their detriment and decided to not ask a judge for an order of protection against Jackson Hopper based on false assurances of Martha Hopper," said the lawsuit. Ellie's family filed the wrongful death lawsuit as a result, believing that if Hopper's mother had informed them of his violent past, a restraining order would have been filed, and Ellie would be alive. "As a foreseeable result of the wrongful conduct of the Defendants... Ellie experienced extreme pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of future earnings, loss of the enjoyment of life, and loss of life," said the lawsuit. Suspect in Ellie Young murder facing more charges from chase in Dyer County The lawsuit also states that the Young family is concerned Hopper may try to use the funds they claim he recently inherited to make bond and flee the county "to avoid prosecution for his heinous acts." The family claims he inherited a significant amount of property in Lake County, Tennessee, and "perhaps in other counties as well," after his grandfather died. He allegedly sold part or all of his interest in the property to his uncle for over $3 million in April of this year. In the lawsuit, the Young family says they wish for the judge to keep Hopper from spending any of the money from the inheritance on anything other than "ordinary living expenses." They also asked that this request be extended to Hopper's mother, to whom he allegedly transferred money from the sale of the inherited property. According to the lawsuit, the Young family believes Martha Hopper will assist her son in hiding and/or spending assets at his request, and fears that she may already have done so. The Young family is asking for $10 million in compensatory damages from the Hoppers.
