Could the tragic death of this young man have been prevented?

Family and friends are seeking justice and answers after a Chesterfield apartment shooting claimed the life of 19-year-old Breland O. Poole Sunday night, April 29, 2018.

According to NBC 12, the shooting occurred in the parking lot of the “Ivy Walk Apartments in Chesterfield,” around 10:30 p.m. Tragically, Mr. Poole succumbed to fatal injuries. Police have not yet identified a suspect or motive.

A family member told News 8 that young Mr. Poole was a multi-sport athlete, a friend to everyone who crossed his path, and a beloved son, brother, and uncle.

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.

  • How did the assailant gain entry to the property? What parking lot security measures, such as bright lighting, gated-entry, fencing, surveillance cameras, and security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect Mr. Poole 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 or management company failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the family of Breland Poole 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.
