Could this senseless Thomson convenience store shooting have been prevented, and are justice and compensation available to the victims?

Security measures are in question after “18-year-old Aaryonna Coleman and 17-year-old Tyquerion Steed” were reportedly shot and injured outside “[a] Spee-Dee Foods” Wednesday afternoon, June 27, 2018, according to both wjbf.com and News 6.

Thomson police told The Augusta Chronicle the two individuals were shot in the convenience store parking lot around 3:30 p.m. Both were transported to area hospitals.

A local resident apparently told The Augusta Chronicle “the neighborhood where the shooting occurred is no stranger to crime.”

Was negligent security a factor in this senseless Thomson convenience store shooting? Read Our Legal Take below to find out if the victims may have legal avenues for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Georgia.

Our Legal Take

Store and parking lot patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided at the subject property and whether this shooting may have been prevented.

  • What additional security measures, such as surveillance cameras and security patrols, were implemented by the convenience store owner to deter crime following media reports of prior local criminal activity?

By law, property owners in Georgia are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm.  Should the facts of this matter reveal that the convenience store owner or management failed to provide adequate security, the victims may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their injuries.

The Murray Law Firm has recovered millions of dollars for victims of unsafe properties in Georgia, and recently obtained a $29.25 million dollar verdict in Georgia.

Could this Decatur shooting have been prevented and is justice available to the injured bystander?

Gunfire erupted during a suspected robbery attempt outside a Kroger grocery store Friday night, June 15, 2018, leaving an innocent bystander injured, according to 11 Alive reports.

An exchange of gunfire broke out between one of the victims and the assailant, striking an “innocent bystander.” The intended victims were apparently uninjured in the attack.

(Columbus Ledger-Enquirer)

Could this tragic Columbus parking lot shooting have been prevented and is justice available to Mr. Mabry’s family?

Gunfire erupted in the parking lot of MLK Grocery Saturday morning, June 2, 2018, claiming the life of 30-year-old Rufus Mabry Jr.

According to WLTZ, Columbus police discovered Mr. Mabry in the parking lot outside the “MLK Grocery Store,” shortly before 2:30 a.m. Mr. Mabry was transported to Piedmont Medical Center, where he tragically succumbed to fatal injuries.

The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reports, a “nightclub is the only business operating in the small strip since the grocery store closed about six months ago.” Witnesses apparently told media “young people frequently hang out in the parking lot late at night…with loud music blasting.”

Was negligent security a factor in the death of this Columbus man and could this incident have been prevented?  Read Our Legal Take below to find out if Mr. Mabry’s family may have legal avenues for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Georgia.

Our Legal Take

Parking lot patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided at the subject property and whether this tragedy may have been prevented.

  • Was the parking lot owner aware of “frequent” crowds gathering in the parking lot of the closed grocery store, as indicated by media reports?
  • If so, what parking lot security measures, such as bright lighting, surveillance cameras and off-duty police patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect Mr. Mabry at the time of the shooting?

By law, property owners in Georgia are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm.  Should the facts of this matter reveal that the parking lot owner or management failed to provide adequate security, the family of Rufus Mabry Jr. may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their loss.
