CALABASAS, Calif. (KABC) -- The family of the man shot and killed while camping with his daughters at Malibu Creek State Park has filed a $90 million claim over his death.

Tristan Beaudette was murdered in June. A transient known to frequent the area was charged with his killing.

The claim names the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and several state and local agencies.

Arrest made in connection with Calabasas burglaries

A 42-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a string of burglaries in the Malibu-Calabasas area.

Beaudette's family alleges the public was not warned about a series of unsolved shootings in the park prior to his death, and that the park negligently failed to provide a safe space for him and his children.

Sheriff's and park officials were not immediately commenting.
