Did a Security Failure Contribute to This Memphis Apartment Shooting?
Local News
A shooting at the New Horizon apartment complex reportedly left three people injured, including a 15-year-old child, Tuesday, March 14, 2017.
According to News 5, the shooting occurred “inside the New Horizon apartment complex, around 8 p.m.” Three victims were transported to the hospital with injuries. Their current conditions have not been released.
The complex was apparently “deemed a nuisance” in 2012. A FOX 13 report warns, “[f]rom the outside looking in, you can see the area is covered in trash and several units are boarded up. Some who call [the] Whitehaven apartment complex home told FOX 13 things are even worse inside.”

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 victims may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their 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 victims retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
