Did negligent security contribute to the tragic death of this young man? We represent, and have recovered millions of dollars for, individuals who have suffered an injury or tragic loss as a consequence of negligent security. Read Our Legal Take to find out if the victim’s family may have a legal avenue for justice and claim for substantial compensation.

Local News

20-year-old Emory Austin Carter, Jr. was reportedly shot and killed at the Ora Lee West Community Center Monday, November 28, 2016. According to WALB News, gunfire erupted “at the Ora Lee West Community Center in the 600 block of East Ann Street around 7:45 p.m.” Police have not yet identified a suspect or motive in the shooting.

Our Legal Take

Residents and guests of a community 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 shooting may have been prevented.

  • How did the gunman gain entry to the property? What security measures, such as gated-entry, fencing, surveillance cameras, bright lighting, 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 property owner or management to deter crime?

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 property owner or management company failed to provide adequate security, the family of Emory Carter, Jr. may elect to seek justice and pursue a legal claim 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.

Security Failure? Our Legal Take: 1 Injured in Forest Cove Apartment Shooting, Atlanta 

Did negligent security contribute to this apartment parking lot shooting? We represent, and have recovered millions of dollars for, individuals who have suffered an injury or tragic loss as a consequence of negligent apartment security. Read Our Legal Take to find out if this victim may have a legal avenue for justice and claim for substantial compensation.

Local News

A man was reportedly shot and injured while visiting friends at the Forest Cove Apartments Thursday morning, November 3, 2016.

According to 11 Alive News, gunfire erupted “at the [Forest] Cove Apartments on New Town Circle, SE.,” shortly before midnight. The victim, who had been “visiting friends and family at the apartment complex,” was struck inside his vehicle. He was transported to the hospital with injuries.

Police reportedly responded to a shooting at the same complex only hours earlier. Investigators apparently told 11 Alive they “do not believe the incidents are related.”

FOX 5 reports, a 5-year-old boy was shot and injured at the Forest Cove apartment complex in August 2016. A fatal shooting apparently claimed the life of another man at the complex in July 2015, per AJC 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 to those at the apartment complex and whether this shooting may have been prevented.

  • How did the gunmen gain entry to the apartment complex? What security measures, such as gated-entry, fencing, surveillance cameras, bright lighting, and security patrols, were in place and working at the time of the shooting?
  • Were any additional security precautions implemented by the property owner or management to deter crime, following reports of prior gun violence, as reported by 11 Alive and FOX 5?

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 company failed to provide adequate security, the victim may elect to seek justice and pursue a legal claim for his injuries.

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.

Security Failure? Our Legal Take: Bystanders Shot Outside Decatur Strip Mall, DeKalb

Did negligent security contribute to the shooting of two innocent bystanders? Read Our Legal Take to find out if the victims may have a legal avenue for justice and claims for compensation.

Local News

A shooting outside of a Decatur strip mall reportedly left a 22-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman with serious injuries Monday, November 14, 2016.

According to The AJC, “[t]he shooting happened about 11:10 a.m. outside a Metro PCS store along the 4900 block of Snapfinger Woods Drive.” Gunfire apparently erupted between two men in the strip mall parking lot. Police told media, “the two people struck were innocent bystanders.” Both were transported to Grady Memorial in “serious, but stable condition.”

Our Legal Take

Store and parking lot patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on premises of the establishment they are visiting. The Murray Law Firm regularly represents victims of parking lot violence in Georgia, and questions the level of security provided and whether this shooting may have been prevented.

  • What security measures, such as surveillance cameras and security patrols, were in place to protect patrons at the time of the shooting? 
  • Was the parking lot owner aware of any prior incidents of violence on or near the property?  If so, were additional security precautions implemented by the property owner or management to deter crime?

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 strip mall parking lot owner or management failed to provide adequate security, the victims may elect to seek justice and pursue legal claims for their injuries.

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.
