Did a security failure contribute to this senseless Orlando apartment shooting?
Local News
Police are apparently still searching for suspects after a man was shot and critically injured outside the Catalina Isle apartment complex in Orlando Monday afternoon, January 8, 2018.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, gunfire erupted at the “Catalina Isle apartments, 2795 LB McLeod Road,” around 1:00 p.m. Responding officers discovered a male victim “in the parking lot suffering from several gunshot wounds.” He was transported to the hospital in “critical condition.”
“Neighbors told News 6 that police are often called to the apartment complex. A property manager at the scene would not comment on the current security measures in place.”

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 shooting may have been prevented.
- What additional security measures, such as gated entry, surveillance cameras and security patrols, were implemented by the complex owner following media reports of prior criminal activity on 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 or managment 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.
