As an Atlanta law firm that represents Clients in apartment shooting cases, we were pleased to learn of the quick arrests of arrested of two individuals suspected of having association with the recent murder of a young woman in an Atlanta apartment complex. Our law firm understands that it is sometimes difficult to locate and apprehend suspects in these types of cases, and the Atlanta Police Department deserves accolades for their swift work.
The young woman was shot in early February at the Atlanta Garden Apartments. She was transported form the scene and died a short time later a Grady Memorial Hospital. All accounts indicate that the woman an innocent bystander to a violent confrontation at the apartment complex.
It remains to be seen whether the owners of the apartment complex will be liable for failing to provide adequate security. An Atlanta premises liability attorney will need to establish that the owners or managers of the apartment complex were aware of criminal activity on the premise in the surrounding area and, despite knowledge of this prior crime, failed to take adequate measures to protect those on its premise.
