“The Pink House” Nightclub Shooting (Google maps)

Could this shooting have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to the victims?

Local News

Gunfire erupted within a Lake City nightclub Friday, January 4, 2019, leaving two men injured.

WBTW is reporting “officers were called to a shooting at a club called “The Pink House” just before 9 p.m. There they found two victims who were taken to the hospital for gunshot wounds. One of the victims had multiple wounds, the other had a single gunshot wound.”

The shooter left the scene, however, WMBF NEWS reports “32-year-old Denon Carson was questioned for his role in the shooting and has since been arrested.”

The victims identities and current conditions have not been released.

Our Legal Take

Nightclub 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 shooting may have been prevented.

• Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property?
• What security measures, such as weapons screenings, bright lighting, visible surveillance cameras, and security personnel, were in place to deter crime and protect the victims 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 nightclub owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on the 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.

Marshall Dorociak, Anderson Pedestrian Accident, SC-81 and Summerfield Ln. (Google Maps)

January 21, 2019

Anderson News

A fatal Anderson pedestrian accident claimed the life of 29-year-old Marshall Luke Dorociak Monday night, January 21, 2019, according to FOX Carolina.

The South Carolina Highway Patrol told 7 News, Mr. Dorociak “was walking southbound on SC-81” near Summerfield Lane when he was struck by a pickup truck. Tragically, he succumbed to fatal injuries. It is unclear whether the driver will face charges.

Our Legal Take

As the details of this tragedy continue to develop, and if the driver is found to be at fault, Marshall Luke Dorociak’s family may elect to file civil claims for their loss.

Based upon its experience and success handling pedestrian accident cases, The Murray Law Firm suggests that the victim’s family should retain an experienced personal injury firm to protect their interests and ensure an unbiased investigation. Photographs of the vehicles and roadways involved and a review of traffic surveillance footage will need to be performed immediately before any evidence is damaged or destroyed.

Jesús Lopez, James Ronquillo Killed in Albuquerque Gas Station Shooting (KOAT 7)

Could the loss of Jesús Lopez and James Ronquillo have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to their families?

Local News

Gunfire erupted at an Albuquerque Gas Station early Monday, January 14, 2019, claiming the lives of Jesús Lopez and James Ronquillo.

According to the Albuquerque Journal, “officers were called to reports of a shooting at a 24-hour Circle K gas station on University and Menaul NE.” It is not known if police have a motive for the shooting, however,  “[Mr.] Lopez’s mother told the Journal that detectives told her family it might have been a robbery attempt.”

Apparently, there have been multiple calls to this location in the past. KOAT 7 reports, “Police are familiar with the Circle K. According to APD records, officers are called to the gas station about 20 to 30 times a month.”  The many incidents allegedly reported raise grave questions over local convenience store security measures.

Our Legal Take

Gas station and convenience store 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.

• Media reports indicate multiple calls to this location. What additional security measures, such as metal detectors, visible surveillance cameras and security patrols, were implemented by the gas station convenience store owner to deter crime and protect patrons following reports of prior criminal activity on property?

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 convenience store owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on the premises, the families of Jesús Lopez and James Ronquillo may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their wrongful deaths.

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’ families retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
