LOCAL NEWS

Gunfire rang out outside a Greensboro, NC bar early Sunday morning, Jan 21, 2024, leaving one man dead.

As reported by WFMYnews2.com, “Greensboro police said they responded to the 300 block of W. Meadowview Road around 2:16 a.m. Sunday in reference to a shooting.”

WXII12.com is reporting, “Once there, [officers] found Gabriel Salazar-Lopez, 36, with life-threatening injuries in a gravel parking lot [outside the bar].

According to the report, “Salazar-Lopez was transported to Moses Cone Hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries.”

IS JUSTICE AVAILABLE? OUR LEGAL TAKE

Bar patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises they are visiting. The level of security provided at the property 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?
• Were any security personnel at the property?
• Were security measures added after any prior incidents?
• What protocol was in place to deter crime and protect the victims at the time of the shooting? 
• Was the property owner or manager aware of any suspicious persons or suspicious activity on the property prior to the shooting?
• Have authorities been to the property on prior occasions?
• Does the property owner or management have a protocol to check guests for deadly weapons prior to entering the establishment?

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 property owner or management lacked adequate security to protect its visitors, the family of Gabriel Salazar-Lopez may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims and substantial compensation for their loss.

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 Gabriel Salazar-Lopez retain a capable law firm who will work without delay to protect their interests.
