Did negligent security contribute to the shooting death at a Las Vegas apartment complex and are justice and compensation available to the victim’s family?

LOCAL NEWS

Gunfire erupted at a Las Vegas, Nevada apartment complex early Friday morning, May 24, 2019, leaving one woman dead.  According to News3LV.com, “[o]fficers got a report of shots fired at an apartment complex near W. Washington Avenue and Rainbow Boulevard around 1:10 a.m.”  When officers arrived, they found a woman who was shot.  “Medical personnel pronounced her dead at the scene,” according to the report.

The investigation is ongoing.

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.

  • What security measures were in place to deter crime and protect the victim at the time of the shooting?
  • How was the suspect able to gain access to the property?
  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on the 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 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.
