Negligent Security? Our Legal Take: Fatal Thomson Car Wash Shooting

Did negligent security contribute to this tragic loss of life? Read Our Legal Take to find out if the victim’s family may have a legal avenue for justice and a claim for compensation.

Local News

A shooting outside CC’s Car Wash in Thomson reportedly claimed the life of Roosevelt Demmons Saturday night, August 27, 2016.

According to WTOC News, the fatal shooting occurred “on Saturday at CC’s Car Wash in Thomson,…around 6 p.m.” Anthony McGahee apparently heard the shooting from his nearby home, unaware his cousin was the victim. Mr. McGahee tells WTOC, the sound of gunfire is “common” in his neighborhood and that the violence “has got to stop.”

Police allegedly have a suspect in custody. They have not yet announced a motive.

Our Legal Take

Patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on premises of the establishment they are visiting. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided at the car wash and whether this tragedy 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 property owner aware of any prior incidents of violence on or near the property?  If so, were additional security precautions implemented by the property owners 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 car wash owner or management company failed to provide adequate security, the victim’s family 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.

Negligent Security? Our Legal Take: Teen Killed in Albany Apartment Shooting

Did negligent security contribute to the death of this young man? Read Our Legal Take to find out if the if the victim’s family may have a legal avenue for justice and a claim for compensation.

Local News

19-year-old Darius Keys, of Camilla, reportedly lost his life as a result of gun violence at the Cedar Apartments in Albany Tuesday, August 23, 2016.

According to WALB 10 News, “[t]he shooting happened behind Cedar Apartments…after 4 p.m.” Police are reportedly searching for two suspects in connection with the shooting, but have apparently not yet identified a motive.

The complex was previously the subject of an armed robbery investigation in June 2011, per WTVM 9 reports.  Per that report, an individual was “found guilty of using a gun to steal a man’s shoes”…”in June 2011 at the Cedar Apartments.”

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 property? What parking lot security measures, such as gated entry, fencing, surveillance cameras, and security patrols, were in place and working at the time of the shooting?
  • Was the apartment complex aware of any prior criminal activity 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 apartment complex owner or management company failed to provide adequate security, the family of young Darius Keys 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: 5-Year-Old Shot, Injured at Atlanta Apartment

Did negligent security contribute to the shooting of this 5-year-old boy? Read Our Legal Take to find out if the if the young victim and his family may have a legal avenue for justice and a claim for compensation.

Local News

A 5-year-old boy was reportedly struck by gunfire at the Forest Cove apartment complex in southeast Atlanta Sunday night, August 28, 2016.

FOX 5 News reports, “[p]olice were called out to [the] Forest Cove Apartments just before midnight. Once they arrived on the scene, police discovered the child had sustained a gunshot wound to the back of his shoulder. According to police, he was struck by a stray bullet.” The young victim was transported to the hospital. His current condition has not been released.

The apartment complex has apparently been the subject of media attention in the past, including allegations of “dangerous conditions” reported by CBS46 in July 2012, and  a “fatal shooting” reported by The AJC in July 2015.

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 unconscionable shooting may have been prevented.

  • How did the gunman gain entry to the property? What parking lot security measures, such as bright lighting, gated entry, surveillance cameras, and security patrols, were in place and working at the time of the shooting?
  • Was the apartment complex aware of any prior criminal activity 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 apartment complex owner or management company failed to provide adequate security, the young victim and his family 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.
