Did negligent security contribute to this shooting? Read Our Legal Take to find out if the victim may have a legal avenue for justice and claim for compensation.

Local News

A man was reportedly shot and injured during a robbery outside the Shoreline apartment complex Tuesday, October 11, 2016.

According to Tulsa World, an armed assailant “approached the victim at the Shoreline Apartments, on 21st Street between Interstate 44 and U.S. 169, and demanded his wallet, but the man did not hand it over and was shot twice by the robber.”

The victim was transported to the hospital with gunshot wounds to the chest and hip, per media reports. His current condition has not been released.

Our Legal Take

Apartment residents and guests have a right to feel safe and secure within the community. The Murray Law Firm questions the level of security provided at the apartment complex and whether this attack may have been prevented.

    How did the gunman gain entry to the property? What security measures, such as bright lighting, gated-entry, security patrols, and surveillance cameras, were in place to deter crime at the time of the shooting?

  • October crime reports, from Spotcrime.com, reveal a number of assaults and robberies in the surrounding area. Was the apartment complex aware of any prior criminal activity on or near the property?  If so, were additional security precautions implemented by the property owner or management to protect residents?

Generally, property owners are required to protect all residents and 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 victim may seek justice and elect to pursue a legal claim for his 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 victim retain an experienced attorney who can ensure the preservation of any and all evidence that may support such a claim.
