Could This Deadly Houston Apartment Shooting Have Been Prevented?

Local News

A shooting outside the Haverstock Hills apartment complex reportedly claimed the lives of  31-year-old Gary Rusher and 33-year-old Christopher Beatty and left four others injured Sunday, March 26, 2017.

According to ABC 13, the shooting occurred “at the Haverstock Hills Apartments on Aldine Bender.” A gunman apparently opened fire into a group of people, fatally striking Mr. Beatty and Mr. Rusher and leaving four others injured, including “siblings, Brandy, Isaiah and Wayne Rusher.”

KHOU News reports, “Neighbors are frustrated over the continuing violence at the apartment complex in northeast Houston.”

Our Legal Take

Apartment residents and guests 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 unconscionable shooting may have been prevented.

  • How did the gunmen gain access to the property? What security measures, such as gated-entry, bright lighting and security patrols, were in place to protect residents at the time of the shooting?
  • Were any additional security precautions implemented by the property owner or management to protect residents and guests, following media reports of prior violence on property? 

Generally, property owners are required to protect all patrons 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 families of Mr. Rusher and Mr. Beatty may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for their wrongful deaths. Additionally, the other victims of this tragic shooting may 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.
