LOCAL NEWS

Gunfire erupted at a Reno, Nevada apartment complex Monday, May 6, 2019, leaving one man injured. According to KOLOtv.com, “Police were called about 6:15PM…to an apartment complex on the 700 block of Brinkby Avenue.” The news story reports “two men, who did not know each other, were in a fight in the courtyard and one shot the other in the abdomen.” The victim was taken to a hospital but there was no word on his condition according to the media report.

The incident remains under investigation.

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.

What security measures were in place to deter crime and protect the victim at the time of the shooting?
Have there been prior incidents of violence on the property?
Was there any suspicious activity reported prior to 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 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.
