Did negligent security contribute to the death of a man at a Cordova apartment complex and are justice and compensation available to the victim’s family?

LOCAL NEWS

Gunfire erupted at a Cordova, Tennessee apartment complex Thursday evening, February 28, 2019, tragically leaving a man shot and killed.  According to Fox13memphis.com, ” the shooting happened around 6:45 p.m. at The Grove at Trinity Pointe apartments in the 500 block of Arbor Hollow Circle.”  The news story further reports that “[o]fficers found one man lying on the ground suffering from a gunshot wound…the victim…was pronounced dead at the scene.”  WMCactionNews5.com is reporting “[n]o suspect information is available at this time…[t]his is an ongoing investigation.”

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 shooting may have been prevented.

  • How were the suspects able to gain access on to the property?
  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on property?
  • What security measures, such as bright lighting, gated-entry, fencing, monitored surveillance cameras, and visible security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect the victim 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, the victim’s 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.
