    Recent crime reports from Spotcrime.com reveal a number of violent crimes in the surrounding area.

  • Was the gas station owner aware of this criminal activity? If so, what additional security measures, such as monitored surveillance cameras and security personnel, were implemented by the owner to deter such 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 gas station owner or management failed to provide adequate security, the family of Tony McGowen may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their loss. Additionally, Mikeem Jackson may pursue legal claims for his injuries.

Could this tragic Stone Mountain gas station shooting have been prevented and is justice available to the victim’s family?

A gun fight broke out at a Stone Mountain gas station Wednesday afternoon, June 13, 2018, claiming the life of an innocent bystander, Anthony Cooley.

According to The AJC, officers responded to “the Quick Stop Food Mart in the 1100 block of North Hairston Road,” shortly after 1:00 p.m. Police told WSB-TV 2 an innocent man was caught in the crossfire when “two men shot at each other from separate gas stations” across Central Drive in Stone Mountain. Tragically, Anthony Cooley succumbed to fatal injuries at the scene.

Neighbors apparently told WSB-TV 2 “shootings such as this one are far too frequent in the area and they want more police patrolling.”

Was negligent security a factor in the death of this innocent bystander and could this incident have been prevented?  Read Our Legal Take below to find out if the victim’s family may have legal avenues for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Georgia.

Could this unconscionable sexual assault have been prevented and is justice available to the survivor?

Security measures are in question after a man was able to break into a woman’s Jonesboro apartment home Friday morning, June 8, 2018, and sexually assault her.

According to The AJC, the assailant “entered through a window in her unit at Tara Bridge Apartments…and sexually assaulted her around 2 a.m.” WSB-TV 2 reports, the courageous survivor “put up a ferocious fight screaming, punching her attacker and trying to run away.” A neighbor finally “heard her screams and called 911, but the accused rapist got away.”

Was negligent security a factor in this Jonesboro apartment sexual assault and could this violent home invasion have been prevented?  Read Our Legal Take below to find out if the survivor 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 subject property and whether this sexual assault may have been prevented.

  • How did the attacker gain entry to the property? What security measures, such as gated entry, fencing, bright lighting, surveillance cameras, and security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect residents at the time of the sexual assault and home invasion?

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 survivor of this sexual assault may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for her injuries and suffering.
