It’s nearly been one year since Ali Ahmed Mohammed died outside DC9. While the club — several employees of which were originally charged with murdering Mohammed beforecharges were dropped without prejudice last November — has mostly moved on, Mohammed’s family obviously still carries the scars.

As such, Mohammed’s family is planning on filing a wrongful death lawsuit against the club tomorrow.

The civil suit, which reportedly asks for $10 million in damages, is based on the ruling of the D.C. medical examiner, who ruled Mohammed’s death a homicide. It was concluded, however, that the actions of the five DC9 employees who were arrested in connection with the death was not criminal; the official cause of Mohammed’s death was “Excited Delirium Associated With Arrhythmogenic Cardiac Anomalies, Alcohol Intoxication and Physical Exertion With Restraint.” According to a press release, the family considers the incident a “vigilante-style death,” echoing a statement made by Metropolitan Police Department Chief Cathy Lanier shortly after the incident.

The family will gather outside D.C. Superior Court at 10:30 a.m. tomorrow to announce the lawsuit.
