Did a Security Failure Contribute to the Tragic Death of This Atlanta Teen?
Local News
16-year-old Micah Durdan was reportedly shot and killed at the Biscayne Apartments in Atlanta Monday afternoon, April 3, 2017.
According to The AJC, the young victim “was killed about 4:30 p.m. Monday inside the Biscayne Apartments on the 5400 block of Old National Highway.” Tragically, Mr. Durdan succumbed to fatal injuries.
The apartment complex was apparently the subject of a robbery-shooting investigation in May 2012, per CBS 46 reports.

Our Legal Take
Apartment complex 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 to those at the property and whether this tragic loss of life may have been prevented.
- How did the gunman gain entry to the property? What security measures, such as gated entry, surveillance cameras and security patrols, were in place and working at the time of the shooting?
- Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property? If so, were any additional security precautions implemented by the apartment complex owner or management company to deter crime and protect residents and guests?
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 apartment complex owner or management failed to provide adequate security, the family of Micah Durdan may elect to pursue legal claims for his wrongful death.
Based upon its long, extensive, and successful experience in handling negligent security cases against property owners in the State of Georgia, 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.
