Local News

A shooting at a Jacksonville Shell station reportedly claimed the life of 65-year-old Willie Dornes Saturday afternoon, January 6, 2018.

According to First Coast News, gunfire erupted “outside a Shell gas station…at Lowell and Edgewood Avenues,” around 2:30 p.m. Tragically, Mr. Dornes succumbed to fatal injuries at the scene.

News 4 JAX reports, police believe the “shooting may have stemmed from a robbery attempt.” The tragic incident was apparently one of four deadly Jacksonville shootings in less than 24 hours, raising safety concerns in the area.

Our Legal Take

Gas station 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.

  • Have there been prior incidents of violence on or near property? What security measures, such as bright lighting, surveillance cameras and security patrols, were in place 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 gas station owner failed to provide adequate security to protect those on its premises, the family of Willie Dornes may seek justice and elect to pursue legal claims for his wrongful death.

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.
