Lawsuit alleges racial and gender discrimination led to an Air Force contractor's death

The family of a Air Force contractor who was killed when she walked into a rotating drone propeller has filed a lawsuit against her company, Sumaria Systems LLC, claiming her trainer subjected her to gender and racial discrimination that ultimately put her in harm's way and led to her death. The lawsuit relies on extensive witness testimony released by Air Force investigative board that the trainer had been “hazing” Stephanie Cosme on the day of her death, and had previously faced workforce complaints of gender and racial discrimination.
