Could this senseless loss of life have been prevented and are justice and compensation available to Dequnita Young’s family?

Local News

24-year-old Dequnita Young was shot and killed during an altercation in the parking lot outside “Club Premium on Murfreesboro Pike,” according to WKRN.

Nashville police told the Tennessean gunfire erupted “over a vehicle being blocked in the parking lot.” The victim was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical and tragically succumbed to fatal injuries.

A News 4 investigation reveals, “[p]olice were called to the venue on July 14 after two women were stabbed in a parking lot brawl.”

Did negligent security contribute to this senseless loss of life? We represent individuals and families who have suffered a tragic loss or injury as a consequence of negligent property security. Read Our Legal Take below to find out if Dequnita Young’s family may have a legal avenue for justice and claims for substantial compensation in Tennessee, or call now for a free consultation with our legal team: 888.842.1616.

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 tragedy may have been prevented.

  • What additional security measures, such as weapons screenings, monitored surveillance cameras, bright parking lot lighting, and visible security patrols, were implemented by the nightclub owner following media reports of prior violence 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 nightclub owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the family of Dequnita Young may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their loss.

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.

ApartmentCrime-300x200Richardson Apartment Managers Crime Awareness Group

The Richardson Police Department is helping local apartment owners and property managers to deter crime and protect their tenants.

The Richardson Apartment Managers Crime Awareness Group provides an avenue for property managers to partner with their Police Department to address crime issues affecting resident safety and the protection of property. Managers meet quarterly with Crime Prevention Officers, Patrol Officers, and Detectives working in their area. A guest speaker addresses a topic of interest specific to property managers. This format equips managers with information to better serve their residents and to reduce crime, while demonstrating to tenants that management is concerned about their welfare.

Apartment Community Crime Watch

While apartment community safety and security is ultimately the responsibility of the owner and management, The Richardson Police Department is empowering residents to protect themselves and their families through a neighborhood crime watch.

The Crime Prevention Unit sponsors a Resident Crime Watch program specifically for multi-family community residents. When residents partner with the police in our fight against crime, the result is a greater sense of responsibility and territorial concern for the property. With residents taking control of their own community, they feel safer while criminals feel more at risk of detection and apprehension. Resident involvement may also compel managers to become more involved.
