TIKTOK star Ava Majury will reportedly testify in court on Monday against her second alleged stalker after her first one showed up at her door with a shotgun last July.
Ava's dad Rob shot Eric Rohan Justin, 18, dead outside their Florida home last year but defended having allowed his daughter to sell her selfies to the teen before that.
Justin traveled to Florida from Maryland to seek out Ava after months of alleged online stalking and shot open their front door before being shot by Ava's father.
Ava, 15, and her family are now reportedly taking action against another teen who allegedly stalked and intimidated her following her experience with Justin.
The juvenile stalker was allegedly in contact with Justin, who bought Ava's selfies for $300 before he made the trip to Naples for the fatal shoot-out.
Another classmate shared a video with Ava of the boy, whose identity is being withheld because of his age, where he's firing a gun at a shooting range.
The intimidating video paired with months of the boy following Ava prompted the girl to begin homeschooling as she didn't feel safe at her high school.
The Majurys' family lawyers have filed a petition in Collier County Circuit Court seeking an injunction for protection against stalking.

A hearing is set for this Monday, where Ava will testify after initially being stopped from doing so.
"She is genuinely afraid for her safety," said Lanny Davis, one of Ava's lawyers, to Fox News.
"It is a shame that it too often seems it takes a tragedy for everyone to ask: Why didn't we act sooner?"
The family hopes to obtain video evidence in the new stalking case.
CAREER CONTINUES
Ava's TikTok career has continued despite the traumatic shooting and the dark side of fame she's experienced.
The teenager has over 1million followers on TikTok, and three accounts on the popular app – each one catering to a different audience to increase revenue.
Ava's parents are supportive of her fame but are more cautious now as they understand how credible online threats can be.
"As parents, all that we've ever wanted is the best for Ava," Rob and Kim Majury said in a joint statement to Fox News.
"While becoming social media famous was not in the plan, we support our daughter's endeavors entirely. Never in our wildest dreams did we think a fun pastime could lead to a near-death experience."
DEFENDED DECISION
Rob will not be going to court for the shooting because the killing was deemed legal under Florida's Stand Your Ground laws.
Ava took to Instagram recently to defend her and her family's decision to stay on social media.
She also posted about her story last week, in hopes to warn young people of the "dangers of social media."
"I could never have imagined my innocent posts would result in a stranger showing up at my front door with a shotgun," the girl said.
"I urge young people and parents to immediately report any threat or signal of violence, and not wait until it's too late."
