Was Negligent Gas Station Security a Factor in the Death of Vitali Mialik?
Local News
34-year-old Vitali Mialik was reportedly shot and killed outside of a Valero gas station Friday night, February 3, 2017.
According to The AJC, the fatal shooting occurred shortly after 11:00 p.m. at “the Valero station in the 1700 block of Beaver Ruin Road in unincorporated Norcross.” Mr. Mialik apparently “went to the gas station to buy items from the store.”
After leaving the store, two men approached Mr. Mialik in the parking lot, where an “argument escalated” into gunfire, per Norcross Patch reports. Tragically, Mr. Mialik succumbed to fatal injuries at the scene.

Our Legal Take
Gas station patrons 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 senseless shooting may have been prevented.
- What security measures, such as bright lighting, surveillance cameras and security patrols, were in place and working at the time of the shooting?
- Was management aware of an initial altercation and, if so, were any attempts made to contact authorities?
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 gas station owner failed to provide adequate security, the family of Mr. Mialik may elect to pursue legal claims and civil justice 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.
