Dr. Hamid Mirshojae's widow is suing the his ex-wife, who is now accused of planning his murder.  

Mirshoje was ambushed, shot in the parking lot of his medical office. Prosecutors say this murder-for-hire plot was organized and funded by ex-wife, Ahang Mirshojae. And according to a new lawsuit the plotting did not end with the doctor's death.  The lawsuit claims  the ex-wife is plotting to get real estate and other properties,  for herself and the three grown children the former couple had. 

 New wife and widow, Ghazal Simorgh,  has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Ahang Mirshojae and the others accused in the killing.  

Dr. Hamid Mirshojae and his new wife have a six-month-old daughter. He also has the three children from the first marriage, which ended in an ugly divorce and legal battles that have continued for 15 years.

Dr. Hamid Mirshojae and his first wife, Ahang Kelk Mirshojae, began divorce proceedings in 2009 when he applied for a restraining order to keep her away from their $6 million marital home. In the petition, he cited "physical violence," accusing Ahang of repeatedly punching him. Legal disputes have continued since. Ahang Mirshojae managed the office of the Woodland Hills Medical Clinic and remained an employee there until 2016, when Dr. Mirshojae reportedly caught her embezzling substantial sums from the clinic.

Dr. Mirshojae continued his standard practice. An hour after closing Woodland Hills Medical Clinic and Urgent Care for the day, he was ambushed by a masked gunman near his SUV around 5:30 p.m. The LAPD arrived 42 minutes later to find the 61-year-old primary care and emergency physician with a gunshot wound to the back of the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say a single gunman fled on foot. The investigation led officers to his ex-wife.
