Overview
- Lillian Mendoza Brady filed a Travis County lawsuit on March 6 seeking more than $1 million, alleging former Tesla worker Ndiaga Diagne assaulted her at Gigafactory Texas in December.
- The suit says the attack happened during a company-allowed prayer break in a common area and accuses Tesla of negligent workplace safety.
- Brady alleges Tesla withheld her assailant’s name despite repeated requests, and she recognized him only after news coverage identified Diagne following the March 1 shooting that killed three and injured more than a dozen.
- The Travis County Sheriff’s Office confirmed it opened an investigation into the December report and has closed the case because the suspect is deceased.
- Austin police say they had no prior contact with Diagne, Brady’s lawyer says the FBI interviewed her this week, and Tesla has not responded to requests for comment.
