Could this shooting have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to the victims?

Clayton County News

Gunfire erupted at a Morrow, Georgia event hall early Saturday night, April 13, 2019, leaving three teen boys injured.  According to WSBtv.com, “[t]he teens were hit by the gunfire after a large fight broke out outside LPT Studios on Lake Harbin Drive in Morrow…two boys were shot in the leg and the other was shot in the torso.”  News-Daily.com is reporting “the juveniles had been taken to local hospitals before police arrived.” The news story reports that the LPT Studios owner “rented out his studio at 2270 Lake Harbin Road for a girl’s Sweet 16 birthday party and that his “God-fearing studio” had never had any trouble before.”   No security was hired for the party according to the News-Daily.com news story.

The investigation is ongoing and no suspects or victims have been identified.

Our Legal Take

Business patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises the they are visiting. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided on the property and whether this tragedy may have been prevented.

  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near the property?
  • Was the establishment properly staffed with security personnel for the event?
  • What security measures, such as bright lighting, visible surveillance cameras, and security personnel, 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 property owners failed to provide adequate security to protect those on the premises, the victims may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their loss.

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.

Gunfire erupted at an Atlanta, Georgia gas station early Monday morning, April 8, 2019, injuring one man.

According to Fox5Atlanta.com, “the shooting happened after midnight on Monday on the 300 block of Boulevard SE.” The news story reports “a silver sedan approached a man while he was standing outside his car…the driver got out of the sedan, hit the victim in the head with a handgun, shot him in the abdomen, and then fled the scene.”  The victim was taken to the hospital and believed to be in stable condition.

There is no word on any suspect identity at this time.

Our Legal Take

Gas station and convenience store patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided on the property and whether this tragedy may have been prevented.

  • Have there been prior violent incidents near or on the property?
  • What security measures, such as bright lighting, visible surveillance cameras and security patrols, were present to deter crime and protect patrons at the time of the shooting?

Dunwoody Apartment Complex Shooting Leaves 1 Man Dead. (WSBtv.com)

Did negligent security contribute to this shooting death at a Dunwoody apartment complex and are justice and compensation available to the victim?

DUNWOODY NEWS

A man was shot to death at a Dunwoody apartment complex on the morning of April 8, 2019.  According to ReporterNewspapers.net, “police received multiple 911 calls around 5:20 a.m….at the Arrive Perimeter apartments. On arrival, police found an unidentified man, suffering a gunshot wound, in the complex’s parking deck.” That victim was later pronounced deceased according to the news report.  WSBtv.com talked with neighbors of the complex, and one neighbor in the next building over who said “the gunshots echoed and were so loud that they woke her up.”  Another neighbor heard the gunshots, “it was rapid fire and there were more than just three.”

The investigation is ongoing according to the media outlets.

OUR LEGAL TAKE

Apartment residents and 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 apartment complex and whether this shooting may have been prevented.

  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on the property?
  • What security measures, such as bright lighting, gated-entry, fencing, monitored surveillance cameras, and visible security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect the victim at the time of the shooting?
  • How was the suspect able to gain access to the parking gargage?

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 apartment complex owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the deceased victim’s family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their loss. 

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 victim’s family retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
