The family of Miriam Carey — the 34-year-old woman shot near the Capitol after leading police on a chase that began at the White House — says they’ve filed a federal administrative notice of claim to sue the federal government for wrongful death, seeking $75 million.

Carey was shot and killed in October 2013 after ramming a White House security barricade then leading police on a chase that ended near the Capitol building. Federal officials say Carey was being treated for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, while her family claims she was not delusional.

The suit — prepared by attorney Eric Sanders against the U.S., the United States Secret Service: Uniformed Division and United States Capitol Police — alleges that Carey mistakenly drove past the White House security checkpoint and was attempting to make a U-turn before she was approached by police and other law enforcement officials. The suit claims that law enforcement officials should have ended their pursuit of Carey.

In a release, Sanders calls Carey’s death “avoidable” and asks Congress to investigate.

“Unless they are seriously considering criminal charges in Miriam’s case, quite frankly after several months, department policies relating to investigative car stops, vehicle pursuits, use of force, etc., should have been analyzed and applied to Miriam’s case for release to the public,” he said. “These public disclosures are absolutely necessary because Miriam’s death unfolded right before the international community via live television.”

Calls to the Secret Service and Capitol Police were not immediately returned.

In December, the Washington Post editorial board called on investigators to share more information about the case with the public.
