Could the tragic loss of this Dallas man have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to Mr. Deleon’s family?
Local News
25-year-old Marin Deleon was reportedly found shot at the “Mountain Creek Apartments in the 3200 block of Persimmon Road” Sunday morning, August 12, 2018, according to DFW-CBS.
Police told NBC 5, Mr. Deleon was “parked in front of his apartment” when he was shot in an apparent “robbery.” Mr. Deleon was transported to the hospital, where he tragically succumbed to fatal injuries.
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.
- What security measures, such as gated-entry, fencing, surveillance cameras, and security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect Mr. Deleon 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 family of Marin Deleon 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.
