Lawsuit alleges racial and gender discrimination led to an Air Force contractor’s death
- The family of Stephanie Cosme filed a lawsuit against Sumaria, claiming her death resulted from racial and gender discrimination by Testing Director Derek Kirkendall, who allegedly had a history of hostility toward Hispanic employees.
- The U.S. Air Force investigation found that Cosme's trainer rushed the job and improperly instructed her, but did not cite discrimination as a factor in her death.
- The lawsuit alleges that Kirkendall isolated Cosme, assigned her dangerous tasks, and used anti-Hispanic language, contributing to unsafe working conditions.
- The family believes that Kirkendall's treatment of Cosme reflects a broader issue of gender harassment in male-dominated fields and that accountability for her death remains unaddressed.
