The family of a Wilmington woman killed in a 2016 drive-by shooting on Wednesday sued Cabela’s Inc. in Delaware state court, accusing the outdoor sporting retailer of negligence in selling the murder weapon in a straw purchase.

The lawsuit, filed by the family of 19-year-old Keshall “KeKe” Anderson, alleged that Cabela’s violated state and federal laws when its Wilmington store sold a .40 caliber Smith & Wesson pistol to Brilena Hardwick, who then turned the weapon over to her boyfriend, John Kuligowski. Kuligowski, a convicted felon, was barred from purchasing firearms, court documents said.
