Did negligent security contribute to this shooting death at a Memphis apartment complex and are justice and compensation available to the family of Latarica Stripling?

MEMPHIS NEWS

Gunfire erupted at a Memphis, Tennessee apartment complex Thursday night, April 25, 2019, leaving one woman dead. According to WREG.com, “[p]olice said they got a call of shots fired at the Crescent Bluff Apartments at Florida Street and E.H. Crump at 11:06 p.m., and when they got to the scene, they found a woman dead from injuries from a shooting.” The news outlet reports that the “[f]amily later identified the woman as Latarica Stripling.” The investigation is ongoing and no suspect information has been released according to the media outlet.

WMCactionNews5.com reported on an armed carjacking in this area in January 2015.

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.

Have there been prior incidents of violence on the property?
If any prior incidents of violence did occur, did the property owner make any security changes?
What security measures, such as gated-entry, fencing, monitored surveillance cameras, and visible security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect Mr. Fields and others 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 apartment complex owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the family of Latarica Stripling 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 family of Latarica Stripling retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
