Could this violent San Marcos apartment robbery have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to the victim?

Local News

Security measures are in question after a man was shot during an apparent robbery at “The Lodge Apartments in the 1900 block of Aquarena Springs Drive” Thursday morning, September 20, 2018, according to MySanAntonio News.

Police told Fox 7, witnesses heard “a knock on the door before three men, two of them holding guns, entered the apartment and told everyone to get on the floor.” One of the assailants opened fire during the robbery, reportedly striking the victim multiple times. The victim’s identity and condition have not been released.

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 senseless shooting may have been prevented.

  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property?
  • How did the assailants gain access to the property?
  • What security measures, such as gated-entry, bright lighting, fencing, surveillance cameras, deadbolts, security bars, and 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 property owner or management failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the victim may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for his injuries.

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