Did negligent security contribute to the shooting death at a Perry apartment complex and are justice and compensation available to the victim’s family?

LOCAL NEWS

Update:  13WMAZ.com is identifying the victim in Sunday’s shooting as “20-year-old Private Anahitdeep Singh Sandhu, of Beaufort, South Carolina.”

Gunfire erupted at a Perry, Georgia apartment complex Sunday evening, April 28, 2019, leaving one man dead.  According to 13WMAZ. com, “the shooting happened at Kings Villas Apartments off Kings Chapel Road around 6:30 p.m. Sunday.”  The news story reports “the man was shot multiple times, and passed away.”  The name of the victim was not released and the investigation into a motive continues.

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.

  • What security measures were in place to deter crime and protect the victim at the time of the shooting?
  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on the property?
  • How was the suspect able to gain access to the property?

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 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.

Could the shooting at an Acworth gas station have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to the victim?

Local News

Gunfire erupted at a Acworth, Georgia gas station Sunday evening, April 28, 2019, leaving one person injured.  According to 11alive.com, “[t]he shooting happened at a [gas station] Food Mart in the 3400 block of Baker Road.”  AJC.com is reporting, “Acworth officers were called to the [gas station] by a witness who heard gunshots and saw someone run away from the victim’s vehicle, jump into another car and drive off…[t]he victim was found shot once and was taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital, where he was in critical condition but stable Sunday.”  According to the news report, three suspects have been taken into custody.

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 the victim at the time of the shooting?
  • Was there any suspicious activity reported prior to 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 owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on the premises, the victim may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for his 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.
