Nikolas Cruz, the teenager who recently gunned down 17 people in a Florida high school, reportedly employed an attorney two months prior to his rampage in an effort to receive an $800,000 inheritance. Cruz’s mother, Lynda Cruz, suffered from pneumonia and passed away last November. Audra Simovitch, Cruz’s lawyer, was working to get him his share of the estate. Simovitch has commented that she has not yet been able to meet with her client but hopes to visit him before March. Part of the reason she wishes to see Cruz is to find out if he still has an interest in his share of the inheritance.
