Charlotte, NC February 13, 2019

Did a security failure contribute to this unconscionable Charlotte apartment complex sexual assault and stabbing?

LOCAL NEWS

A woman was allegedly sexually assaulted and then stabbed at a Charlotte apartment complex, Wednesday evening, February 13, 2019.

According to Fox46Charlotte.com, “[t]he man attacked the woman around 7:15 p.m. Wednesday at the Courtney Ridge Apartments off Billy Graham Parkway.”  The news outlet goes on to say that “the victim, 32, was standing by her car when she was approached by man who then sexually assaulted her.”  WBTV.com is reporting that the victim attempted to fight and that is when “[t]he man then cut her with a knife and fled the scene.”

WBTV.com reports that a “K-9 unit attempted to track the man down but was unable to do so.”

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 on the property and whether this unconscionable attack may have been prevented.

  • Have there been prior incidents of violence or assault on property?
  • How did the assailant gain entry to the property?
  • What security measures, such as gated-entry, fencing, surveillance cameras, and security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect residents at the time of the assault? 

Generally, property owners 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 to protect those on its premises, the victim may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for her injuries and suffering.

Based upon its prior successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, 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. Given the complexities of pursuing a negligent security case, it is imperative that the victim retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.

Gunfire erupted in Tallahassee early Sunday morning, February 10, 2019, killing one and injuring another according to media reports.  According to WTXL.com, “the shooting happened around 1:38 a.m. Sunday in the 2600 block of West Tennessee Street.”  When emergency personnel arrived they “immediately provided medical attention to two victims suffering from gunshot wounds. Both were taken to the hospital.”  WTXL.com further reports that “[o]ne of the victims died from their injuries.”

Media reports indicate there have been multiple incidents in reference to this location.  According to WCTV.com, “the Tallahassee Police Department has responded to more than 20 calls in the shopping plaza where the shooting happened, ranging from loud noise to disorderly conduct to aggravated assault.”   WCTV.com reports that victims and suspects have not been identified.

OUR LEGAL TAKE

  • What safety measures were incorporated to protect patrons after prior police calls?
  • What security measures, such as weapons screenings, visible surveillance cameras, security personnel and security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect the victims at the time of the shooting?
