Could this tragic Houston sports bar shooting have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to Mr. Aviles’ family?
Gunfire erupted during a soccer match inside a sports bar Sunday morning, June 24, 2018, claiming the life of 45-year-old Jesus Aviles, according to KPRC 2 reports.
Houston Police told KTRK News “about 30 people were inside [a] sports bar” watching the World Cup game when shots rang out. Tragically, Mr. Aviles succumbed to fatal injuries at the scene.

Our Legal Take
Bar patrons have a right to feel safe and secure while on the premises. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided on the property and whether this tragedy may have been prevented.
- How did a gun gain entry to the property?
- Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property? What security measures, such as weapons screenings, surveillance cameras and security personnel, were in place to deter crime and protect Mr. Aviles 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 sports bar owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the family of Jesus Aviles may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for his wrongful death.
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’s family retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
