Did negligent security contribute to this tragic loss of life?

Local News

An apparent robbery-home invasion at the Eagle Nest apartments reportedly claimed the life of 23-year-old Devon Howard Thursday evening, February 15, 2018.

According to THV 11, “someone knocked on the door and when [Mr.] Howard answered it, two men forced their way into the apartment and began struggling with him.” Witnesses apparently heard the “suspects demanding money” before opening fire. Tragically, Mr. Howard succumbed to fatal injuries.

Police are still searching for suspects, per KATV reports.

Did negligent security contribute to this senseless loss? We represent individuals and families who have suffered a tragic loss or injury as a consequence of negligent property security.

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 assailants gain entry to the complex? What security measures, such as gated-entry, surveillance cameras, bright lighting, and security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect residents 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 and management failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the family of Devon Howard 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.
