Did negligent security contribute to this tragic loss of life?

Local News

Gunfire erupted outside the Magnolia Terrace apartment complex Thursday morning, February 8, 2018, reportedly claiming the lives of two men.

According to First Coast News, “the shooting happened at around 4:45 a.m. on 2000 Jammes Rd in the parking lot of Magnolia Terrace Apartments.” Neighbors told News 4 JAX they heard “a burst” of 20-30 gunshots. Responding officers discovered two male victims at the scene. Tragically, both succumbed to fatal injuries.

The complex was apparently the subject of a prior shooting investigation in September 2016, per Florida Times Union 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 on the property and whether this tragedy may have been prevented.

  • What additional security measures, such as gated-entry, surveillance cameras, bright lighting, and 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 and management failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the victims’ families may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their wrongful deaths.

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