Could this Warner Robins apartment shooting have been prevented, and are justice and compensation available to Mr. Collier?

Gunfire erupted “at the Lake Vista Apartments near Northlake Drive in Warner Robins” Tuesday night, September 18, 2018, according to 13 WMAZ.

Police told The Macon Telegraph, officers discovered 29-year-old Kiereyon Collier suffering from “multiple gunshot wounds…in the breezeway of Building 300.” His current condition has not been released.

The apartment complex was apparently the location of a home invasion shooting investigation in August 2017, per Macon Telegraph reports.

Was negligent security a factor in this senseless Warner Robins shooting? Read Our Legal Take below to find out if the victim may have legal avenues for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Georgia.

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 senseless shooting may have been prevented.

  • What additional security measures, such as gated entry, bright lighting, surveillance cameras, and security patrols, were implemented following media reports of prior violence on property?

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 owners failed to provide adequate security, Kiereyon Collier may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for his injuries.

The Murray Law Firm has recovered millions of dollars for victims of unsafe properties in Georgia, and recently obtained a $29.25 million dollar verdict in Georgia.

A staggering number of violent crimes are plaguing Georgia convenience stores. It’s time owners and managers make the safety and security of staff and customers their first priority.

In August 2018, 13 WMAZ reports, 21-year-old Macon convenience store clerk, Waqar Ali, was shot and killed during his shift. The tragedy occurred only days after Alpeshkumar Prajapati was reportedly shot in a separate Macon convenience store shooting.

Victims of Georgia Convenience Store Violence: Know Your Rights

Convenience store patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises of the establishment they are visiting. By law, Georgia property owners are required to protect all those legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. For example, should a store or gas station owner have knowledge of prior crime on or near property, they have a responsibility to implement reasonable security precautions to protect employees and patrons from future crime. Security measures may include: bright lighting, metal detectors, clear windows, a visible security guard or off-duty police officer, visible sight lines, and surveillance cameras. Should a convenience store owner fail in this critical duty, they may be held civilly liable for any assaults, injuries or wrongful deaths which occur as a consequence.
