The parents of Thy Mitchell, co-owner of Houston’s Traveler’s Table restaurant, have filed a wrongful death lawsuit following the May murder-suicide that claimed the lives of Thy, her two young children, and husband Matthew Mitchell. The lawsuit seeks to hold Matthew Mitchell’s estate and certain family members civilly liable while also pursuing recovery of assets allegedly transferred before the killings.
From the Petition
- Plaintiffs assert wrongful death claims against Matthew Mitchell’s estate and family members.
- The petition seeks punitive damages, a constructive trust, and injunctive relief.
- Plaintiffs allege Matthew Mitchell planned the killings in advance and cite Ring camera recordings referenced throughout the petition.
- The petition also alleges approximately $1.4 million was transferred to shield assets before the murders and asks the court to preserve those assets pending litigation.
