Adeon Brownlee v. 22nd Avenue Apartments, LLC, Millennia Housing Management, Ltd., LLC, and Aron Security, Inc.,

Jeff Gill (Pensacola) (Negligent Security) obtained Final Summary Judgment in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court. Plaintiff was shot by an unknown assailant while visiting an apartment complex located in a high-crime area in Opa Locka, Florida. The court found that the Plaintiff had been targeted and that the crime, despite the high crime statistics, was thus unforeseeable. It also held that the Defendant had no duty to protect the Plaintiff/invitee from the assailant as the overwhelming weight of the evidence suggested that the assailant had fired from an adjacent property.
