Family of Slain Student at Ohio State Sues University, Fraternity
Nearly two years to the day after their son was shot and killed outside a fraternity house party, the family of Ohio State University student Chase Meola has filed wrongful death lawsuits against the fraternity and the university, but not the man accused of the shooting.
Paul and Margaret Meola filed a civil lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court in Columbus and another civil lawsuit Tuesday in the Ohio Court of Claims as executors of the estate of their late son.
Ohio State student Chase Meola, 23, was killed around 2 a.m. on Oct. 11, 2020 in a shooting outside the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity house, commonly referred to as Phi Psi, on the university’s main campus. Meola, 23, was a fifth-year senior studying marketing. He was originally from New Jersey.
