Did negligent security contribute to the senseless loss of this young man and are justice and compensation available to Juforest Hicks’ family?

Local News

Gunfire erupted outside a Charlotte apartment complex Monday night, December 17, 2018, tragically claiming the life of 21-year-old Juforest Ishaih Hicks.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police told WSOCTV 9, Mr. Hicks fled to a nearby gas station for help after suffering multiple gunshot wounds “at an apartment complex on Axminster Court.” Mr. Hicks was transported to the hospital, where he tragically succumbed to fatal injuries.

Police have not yet released information on a suspect or motive, per WCNC 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 tragedy may have been prevented.

  • How did the gunman gain entry to the complex?
  • What security measures, such as gated-entry, fencing, monitored surveillance cameras, bright lighting, and visible security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect Mr. Hicks at the time of the shooting?

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, Juforest Ishaih Hicks’ family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their loss.

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’s family retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.

A south Baltimore family was out Christmas shopping when they were reportedly attacked at a stop light Sunday afternoon, December 9, 2018. The father told FOX 5, he was “going to [a] Mall to get his 13-year-old a pair of boots when they were attacked at a stop light.” He and his teenage daughter were struck when an assailant opened fire on the vehicle during an apparent carjacking. Their current conditions have not been released.

In February 2018, FOX 5 reported a 30-year-old man was “believed to have been shot across from [the same] Mall.”

In March 2017, The Baltimore Sun reported a man “was shot multiple times in the 2400 block of Reisterstown Road just south of…[the same] Mall.”

Criminal activity surrounding the shopping center raises security questions for shoppers, particularly during the busy holiday season.

Victims of Mall and Parking Facility Violence: Know Your Rights

Shopping center patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises of the establishment they are visiting, both inside a business and outside in the parking lot. By law, property owners are required to protect all patrons legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. For example, should a shopping center owner have knowledge of prior violence on or near property, they have a responsibility to implement additional security precautions to protect patrons and deter such crime. Should a mall owner fail in this critical responsibility, they may be held civilly liable for any injuries, sexual assaults or wrongful deaths which occur as a consequence.
