Did a security failure contribute to the death of this Maui Father?

A deadly attack inside a Maui mall reportedly claimed the life of 35-year-old father of two, Eduardo Alejandro Cerezo March 18, 2018.

According to Hawaii News Now, Mr. Cerezo was assaulted by a man with a machete “inside a restroom” at the “Queen Ka’ahumanu Shopping Center.” Tragically, he succumbed to fatal injuries.

In an effort to protect other families from such tragedy, Maui Now reports, Mr. Cerezo’s family is “requesting that an independent investigation be conducted into the security measures employed by the Queen Ka’ahumanu Shopping Center and Maui Bus Transit.”

Did negligent security contribute to this senseless loss of life? We represent individuals and families who have suffered a tragic loss or injury as a consequence of negligent property security. Read Our Legal Take below to find out if the family of Eduardo Alejandro Cerezo may have a legal avenue for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Hawaii, or call now for a free consultation with our legal team: 888.842.1616.

Our Legal Take

Mall patrons 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 tragedy may have been prevented.

  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property?
  • What security measures, such as weapons screenings, surveillance cameras and security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect patrons at the time of the attack? 

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 mall owner or management company failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the family of Eduardo Alejandro Cerezo may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for his wrongful death.

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.
