Did negligent security contribute to the loss of Austin D’mar Rich and are justice and compensation available to the victim’s family?

LOCAL NEWS

Gunfire erupted at a Huntsville, Alabama apartment complex Wednesday morning, March 20, 2019, tragically leaving a young man dead. According to WHNT.com, “[t]he shooting happened just before 7:30 a.m….at the Brixworth at Bridge Street Apartments.” The news article reports, “Austin D’mar Rich, 19, of Huntsville was taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds after the shooting was pronounced dead at the hospital.” According to WAff.com, “[p]olice…believe multiple people may have been involved in the shooting but haven’t released anything definite about a suspect or suspects.”

Media outlets indicate 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.

How were the suspects able to gain access on to the property?
Have there been prior incidents of violence on the property?
What security measures, such as bright lighting, gated-entry, fencing, monitored surveillance cameras, and visible security patrols, were in place to deter crime and protect the Mr. Rich 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, Mr. Rich’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 Mr. Rich’s family retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
