The lawsuit says Ingrassia was the 911 caller and claims she was negligent by chasing Green in a city-owned or leased vehicle. It names Green, Ingrassia and the city of St. Louis. Ingrassia, in an email, referred questions to City Counselor Michael Garvin, who could not be reached Friday.

Green, 21, is in prison. He pleaded guilty last August to armed criminal action and second-degree involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to three years in prison. His front-seat passenger, Dewon Chrisp, had emergency surgery for a sliced artery and numerous broken bones, but survived, court records say.

At Green’s Aug. 22 plea and sentencing hearing, his lawyer Grant Boyd told Circuit Judge David Dowd that the crash could have been avoided “if not for the actions of Ms. Ingrassia.”At the same hearing, Jada’s father told the judge he found out about Ingrassia allegedly chasing Green through his own investigation into the crash.
