The following questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:

Have there been prior incidents of violence on the property, and, if so, were any security measures added after any prior incidents?
What security measures were in place to deter crime and protect the victim and others at the time of the shooting?
Was the complex aware of any suspicious activity or suspicious people on property prior to the shooting?

Property owners are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises. Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the apartment complex owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its residents and visitors, the family of Dakota Foraker may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss.

The Murray Law Firm has extensive and successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, and suggests that an immediate, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed so as to limit evidence from being altered, damaged or destroyed. The complexities of pursuing a negligent security case are well understood by the legal team at The Murray Law Firm, and it is imperative that the family of Dakota Foraker retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.
