Local News

Gunfire rang out at an Albuquerque, New Mexico sports bar Thursday night, August 12, 2021, leaving a man dead and three other people injured.

As reported by AbqJournal.com, “police responded around 9:45 p.m. to reports of gunfire at the sports bar near Coronado Mall…APD learned an ‘altercation’ started near the entrance of the bar before the shooter opened fire.”

KOAT.com is reporting, “[t]hirty-year-old Lawrence Anzures was one of four people shot after a fight broke out at the uptown restaurant.” Sadly, he was unable to survive his injuries according to the report.

According to KRQE.com, “the three [other] people who were wounded are expected to recover from ‘non-life threatening’ injuries, but remain hospitalized…one of those injured is a restaurant employee.”

The investigation is ongoing.

Our Legal Take

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

Bar patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises they are visiting. The level of security provided at the bar is of significance, and is a relevant consideration when analyzing whether this shooting may have been prevented. The following questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:

Have prior incidents of violence been reported on or near the property?
Was there any suspicious activity or suspicious people on the property prior to the shooting.
Does the bar have a protocol to check for deadly weapons prior to patrons entering the establishment.
What security measures, such as bright lighting, visible surveillance cameras, and security personnel, were in place to deter crime and protect the victim at the time of the shooting?

Property owners are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises. Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the bar owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its visitors, the family of Lawrence Anzures may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss. In addition, any injured victims may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their injuries.

The Murray Law Firm has extensive and successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, and suggests that an immediate, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed so as to limit evidence from being altered, damaged or destroyed. The complexities of pursuing a negligent security case are well understood by the legal team at The Murray Law Firm, and it is imperative that the family of Lawrence Anzures and any injured victims retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.

Have prior incidents of violence been reported on or near the property?
Does the bar have a protocol to check guests for deadly weapons prior to entering the establishment?
What security measures, such as bright lighting, visible surveillance cameras, and security personnel, were in place to deter crime and protect the victim at the time of the shooting?
Was the bar aware of any suspicious activity prior to the shooting?

Property owners are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises. Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the bar owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its visitors, the deceased victim’s family may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss. In addition, any injured victim may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their injuries and suffering.

The Murray Law Firm has extensive and successful experience in handling security negligence claims on behalf of victims and their families, and suggests that an immediate, unbiased inspection of the property will need to be performed so as to limit evidence from being altered, damaged or destroyed. The complexities of pursuing a negligent security case are well understood by the legal team at The Murray Law Firm, and it is imperative that the deceased victim’s family and any injured victim retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.

Our Legal Take

FORMER CLIENT: I had lawyers calling me, and friends telling me who I should hire…I trusted in The Murray Law Firm and I’m glad I did.

Nightclub patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises they are visiting, and the owner or operator of the club has a duty to operate the business and hire personnel in a non-negligent manner. The level of security provided at the nightclub is of significance, and is a relevant consideration when analyzing whether this shooting may have been prevented. The following questions are also important in assessing whether this incident may have been avoided:

Have prior incidents of violence been reported on or near the property?
Was the nightclub aware of any suspicious activity prior to the shooting?
Did the nightclub engage in an appropriate background check of its security personnel?

Property owners and managers are generally required to protect against foreseeable harm to anyone and everyone legally on the premises. Should the investigation into this incident reveal facts that establish that the nightclub owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its visitors, or engaged in the negligent retention of its security personnel, the family of Horace McCorey may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss.
