According to The Palm Beach Post, police responded to “a robbery and a shooting in the Royal Poinciana Apartments…just before 1:00 a.m.” WPTV 5 reports, “tenants at the apartment complex received an alert notice,” which urged “residents to take safety precautions.” It is unclear what security measures were in place at the time of the shooting.

Our Legal Take
Generally, property owners are required to protect all guests legally on the premises from any foreseeable harm. Should the facts of this matter reveal that the apartment complex owner or management company failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the family of Lyonel Jean-Pierre 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.
