LOCAL NEWS

A man was shot and killed at a Norcross, Georgia extended stay motel Monday morning, September 16, 2019.

As reported by Fox5Atlanta.com, “officers were called to a [motel] on the 6200 block of Jimmy Carter Boulevard after reports of shots fired.”

When officers arrived they found “30-year-old Darian Glover dead in the hotel’s hallway with gunshot wounds.”

A suspect has been identified but is still on the run.

The investigation is ongoing.

OUR LEGAL TAKE

Motel guests and visitors have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The level of security provided at the motel is of significance, and is a relevant consideration when analyzing whether this shooting may have been prevented.  The following questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:

  • What security measures, such as guarded-entry, monitored surveillance cameras, bright lighting, and visible security patrols were in place to deter crime and protect the victim and others at the time of the shooting?
  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near the property?
  • Was the motel aware of any improper activity before the incident occurred?

Property owners are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises.  Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the motel owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its guests and visitors, Darian Glover‘s family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss.  

The Murray Law Firm has extensive and successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, and suggests that an immediate, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed so as to limit evidence from being altered, damaged or destroyed.  The complexities of pursuing a negligent security case are well understood by the legal team at The Murray Law Firm, and it is imperative that Darian Glover‘s family retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.

Did negligent security contribute to this hotel shooting and are justice and compensation available to the victims?

LOCAL NEWS

Two people were shot at a Riverdale, Georgia hotel early Monday morning, May 6, 2019.  According to AJC.com, “Riverdale police have blocked off the parking lot at the Hometown Suites with crime scene tape and there are multiple evidence markers on the ground. The hotel is located off Ga. 85 south of Garden Walk Boulevard.”  The news story reports “one person is in critical condition and the other is stable.”

Investigators are still working to determine what happened according to the media report.

OUR LEGAL TAKE

Motel guests have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided at the motel and whether this tragedy may have been prevented.

  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near the property?
  • Were there any reports of suspicious activity prior to the shooting?
  • What security measures, such as guarded-entry, monitored surveillance cameras, bright lighting, and visible security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect the victims at the time of the shooting?

Generally, property owners are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the motel owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the victims may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their injuries. 

Based upon its prior successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, The Murray Law Firm suggests that photographs and a thorough, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed immediately, before any evidence may be repaired, damaged or destroyed. Given the complexities of pursuing a negligent security case, it is imperative that the victims retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
