Don Carlos Mexican Restaurant filed a lawsuit against Twin Peaks after Sunday’s deadly biker gang shooting that left nine dead and 18 others wounded.

The Mexican eatery is seeking compensation for damages to the property as well as past and future lost profits after the shootout forced the restaurant to close for three days. Don Carlos sits next door to Twin Peaks, and the two restaurants share a parking lot.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday in district court in Dallas County, names as defendants Peaktastic Beverage LLC, the owner of the Waco and Harker Heights franchises, as well as Twin Peaks Investments LLC and Front Burner Restaurants GP LLC, the restaurant management group that oversees the Twin Peaks brand.

The lawsuit accuses Twin Peaks of gross negligence, charging that management “knew or should have known the risk posed by hosting a special event for rival motorcycle gangs, and failed to control or prevent their violent actions,” causing damages to surrounding businesses.
