Durham, NC – January 7, 2019

Did negligent security contribute to this senseless Durham apartment shooting and are justice and compensation available to the young victim?

LOCAL NEWS

Security measures are under scrutiny after a 15-year-old girl was shot and seriously injured while sitting inside a car at the “Magnolia Pointe apartment complex” Monday afternoon, January 7, 2019, according to CBS 17.

“Investigators have not reported an arrest in the case or a motive for the gunfire,” The News & Observer reports.

The complex was apparently the location of a prior shooting investigation in August 2017, per ABC 11 reports. The continued gun violence raises grave questions over resident and guest safety.

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 shooting may have been prevented.

  • What additional security measures, such as gated-entry, fencing, monitored surveillance cameras, and visible security patrols, were implemented by the apartment complex owner following media reports of prior violence on property?

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 failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the young victim and her family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for her injuries.

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.

Local News

Security measures are under scrutiny after 63-year-old Marian Declues and 55-year-old Vernon Debose were shot and injured in the courtyard of a Glufton apartment complex Sunday morning, January 6, 2019.

Police told The Houston Chronicle, gunfire erupted “at a complex on Westward and Elm around midnight.” Both Mr. Declues and Mr. Debose were transported “to Ben Taub Hospital with non-life-threatening wounds,” per Midland Reporter-Telegram reports.

Another apartment courtyard shooting occurred in the area of Westward and Elm in April 2018, per CW 39 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 at the apartment complex and whether this shooting may have been prevented.

  • What additional security measures, such as gated-entry, fencing, monitored surveillance cameras, bright lighting, and visible security patrols, were implemented by the complex owner and management following media reports of prior gun violence in the area?

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 failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, Marian Declues and Vernon Debose may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their injuries.

  • What security measures, such as weapons screenings, monitored surveillance cameras, and visible security personnel, were in place to protect Mr. Hairston?

Brightway Commons Apartment Shooting: December 23, 2018

Did negligent security contribute to this unconscionable shooting and are justice and compensation available to the young victim?

Milford News

A 4-year-old girl was shot by a stray bullet while standing next to the Christmas tree inside a Milford apartment home Sunday night, December 23, 2018.

According to The Milford Beacon, gunfire erupted “during a confrontation at the Brightway Commons apartment complex.” Milford police told the  Delaware News Journal, a stray bullet pierced the back door window, striking the young girl in the back of her head. She was transported to Nemours A.I. duPont Hospital for Children. Her identity and current condition have not been released.

The Brightway Commons complex was the location of a double shooting investigation in April 2018, per Delaware News Journal 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 at the apartment complex and whether this shooting may have been prevented.

  • How did the gunmen gain entry to the complex?
  • Where was apartment management and security during the initial altercation in the courtyard? Were police called at the start of that dispute?
  • What additional security measures, such as gated-entry, fencing, monitored surveillance cameras, and visible security patrols, were implemented by the complex owner to deter crime and protect residents and guests following media reports of prior gun violence on property?

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 failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the young victim and her family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for her injuries.

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.

15-year-old Gerald Watson ran for his life through a Washington D.C. apartment complex December 13, 2018, before he was fatally shot by two assailants in a stairwell. Police have since made an arrest, but grave questions over apartment security measures remain.

D.C. Police told WTOP, officers discovered Mr. Watson “in the stairwell of his apartment building after…he was cornered by two masked shooters.” Witnesses told media the young man was heard pleading to neighbors, “Help me. Open the door.”

According to The Washington Post, the Anacostia High School freshman “played basketball in a late-night league called Shoot Hoops Not Bullets” and “guided troubled classmates through therapy sessions.” Additionally, Mr. Watson “made a name for himself on the football field, helping his team win a recreation-league championship.” The promising young athlete “was heading to a recreation center to play basketball when he was killed.”

Selecting the right attorney for you or your family is highly important. You must feel confident that the attorney you hire has a complete understanding of the law applicable to your particular case, and has successful experience in handling such cases.

Important: Do not hire a lawyer who has violated the Rules of Professional Conduct!!!

You should not hire an attorney who calls you or visits you unsolicited, or anyone that contacts you directly to offer legal services. This activity is strictly prohibited by Rule 7.3 of the American Bar Association (ABA) Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which states as follows:

ABA Center for Professional ResponsibilityA LAWYER “SHALL NOT” CONTACT A PROSPECTIVE CLIENT THROUGH A “LIVE TELEPHONE” OR AN “IN-PERSON” VISIT.

– RULE 7.3, ABA MODEL RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT.

If an attorney, or someone acting on behalf of an attorney, contacts you in this manner, that attorney is in violation of this Rule. This unethical and unprofessional activity on the part of the lawyer is good sign that you should stay away. It is imperative that you are represented by an attorney who is capable of advocating for you within the confines of the law, and an attorney who fails to abide by the Rules of Professional Conduct is probably not the best fit. In fact, any such attorney should be immediately reported to the local State Bar Association. If you have been contacted in such an unsolicited manner, contact us and we’ll assist you in filing a report.
