Lawsuit alleges Austin gunman assaulted Tesla employee in December before mass shooting

A Texas civil suit alleges Ndiaga Diagne, the gunman behind an Austin mass shooting, assaulted a 65-year-old Tesla employee at a Tesla facility in December. The suit claims Tesla failed to bar a person with “known aggressive tendencies” from a common area and seeks over $1 million in damages. The victim, Lilian Brady, reported the assault to Tesla and to the Travis County Sheriff’s Office; the FBI interviewed her. Diagne was killed by police after the March attack, and authorities say the related case is closed since the suspect is deceased. Tesla has not commented.

Austin Sixth Street Mass Shooting: Tracing Ndiaga Diagne’s Profile and Motive

Police identified Ndiaga Diagne, a 53-year-old Senegalese immigrant who became a U.S. citizen, as the shooter in Austin’s Sixth Street massacre, where three people were killed and 13 injured before he was fatally shot by officers. Investigators are probing potential terrorism links amid context of Iran-related strikes, but the motive remains unclear. Diagne had no prior FBI radar, had U.S. entry in 2000 and citizenship in 2013, and the guns used were legally obtained in 2017; a Quran was found in his car as authorities search residences and examine possible mental health or other connections. The investigation is ongoing.
