A grieving mother has filed a lawsuit claiming that a town in Connecticut and a hospital are liable for the death of a murder-suicide victim who was shot and killed by an “obsessed” dentist after the gunman tracked his ex-girlfriend by GPS in August 2022.

Angela Ashworth, as administratrix of 21-year-old Caroline Anne Ashworth’s estate, filed suit on Oct. 17 in Hartford Superior Court alleging that the Town of Branford’s police department and St. Vincent’s Medical Center, owned and operated by named defendant SVMC Holdings Inc., could have prevented her daughter’s death but failed to act.

Caroline Ashworth was shot and killed on the night of Aug. 27, 2022, around 33 hours after dentist Michael Mollow, a 59-year-old divorced father of two with access to numerous firearms, was discharged from the hospital, where he allegedly acknowledged having homicidal ideations and an obsession with the victim. Mollow, angry that Caroline was socializing with other men, tracked the young woman by GPS and shot her three times with a Glock before turning the gun on himself in Wethersfield, the lawsuit said.
