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

LOCAL NEWS

Gunfire erupted at a Duluth, Georgia apartment complex Saturday night, May 4, 2019, leaving one man dead and another injured.  According to 11Alive.com, “officers responded to a person shot call at the Prescott Apartments in the 1600 block of Centerview Drive at about 11:15 p.m.”  When officers did arrive, “they found two men in separate locations along the woodline behind the apartment property. Both were alive, but they had both been shot.”  WSBtv.com is reporting that with the two victims “[o]ne had been shot in the chest and the other in the shoulder…[t]he man who was shot in the chest died from injuries.”

Police are still searching for the gunman according to media reports.

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 victims at the time of the shooting?
  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on the property?
  • How did the suspect 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 deceased victim’s family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their loss. Additionally, Any other injured victim may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their 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. Given the complexities of pursuing a negligent security case, it is imperative that the deceased victim’s family and any other injured victims retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
