Security Failure? Our Legal Take: 1 Injured in Atlanta Gas Station Shooting

Did negligent security contribute to this gas station shooting? Read Our Legal Take to find out if the victim may have a legal avenue for justice and a claim for compensation.

Local News

A man was reportedly shot and injured outside of an Atlanta Chevron gas station Tuesday morning, October 18, 2016.

According to The AJC, the shooting occurred at “the Chevron on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway.” The victim was reportedly “approached by two men in a black jaguar and shot in the stomach about 4:40 a.m..”

Police have apparently not yet identified suspects or a motive.

Our Legal Take

Gas station 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 gas station violence in Georgia, and questions the level of security provided and whether this shooting may have been prevented.

  • What security measures, such as bright lighting, surveillance cameras and security patrols, were in place to protect patrons at the time of the shooting? 
  • Was the gas station 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 gas station owner or management 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: 1 Injured in Augusta Apartment Shooting

Did negligent security contribute to this apartment shooting? Read Our Legal Take to find out if the victim may have a legal avenue for justice and a claim for compensation.

Local News

A shooting at the River Glen apartment complex reportedly left one person injured Tuesday evening, October 11, 2016.

According to WRDW News 12, the shooting occurred at the “River Glen apartment complex in Augusta.” One person was apparently “shot in the leg.” The victim’s current condition has not been released.

Neighbors held a prayer rally for peace following three homicides at the same apartment complex in 2012, The Augusta Chronicle reports. Sadly, it appears the violence has continued, including a robbery-shooting in October 2015, per WRDW 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 gunman gain entry to the property? What security measures, such as gated-entry, bright lighting, 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 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.

Negligent Security? Our Legal Take: Woman Reportedly Abducted Outside Lithonia Restaurant, Assaulted

Did negligent security contribute to the reported kidnapping and sexual assault of this woman? Read Our Legal Take to find out if the victim may have a legal avenue for justice and claims for compensation.

Local News

The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that a woman was horrifically assaulted after being abducted outside a Lithonia Bojangles restaurant Monday, September 26, 2016. The AJC reports, “a 34-year-old homeless man is accused of abducting the victim Saturday from Bojangles’ Famous Chicken ‘n Biscuits at 2695 Panola Road and forcing her to drive to a parking lot outside the Indian Creek MARTA Station.” The assailant reportedly “brandish[ed] a knife and [told] her that if she did everything he told her to do, she would live to see her children” according to the AJC report.

Our Legal Take

Restaurant 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 questions the level of security provided in the parking lots where the crimes took place and whether this unconscionable assault may have been prevented.

  • What parking lot security measures, such as bright lighting, surveillance cameras and security patrols, were in place outside the restaurant to protect patrons at the time of the kidnapping and assault? 
  • Was the parking lot owner or management 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 parking lot owners failed to provide adequate security, the victim may elect to seek justice and pursue legal claims for her injuries and mental anguish.

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 properties will need to be performed immediately, before any evidence may be repaired, damaged or destroyed.
