HOUSTON — The family of an individual who was fatally shot at a Houston area apartment is claiming the complex failed to have adequate safety measures.  

Shelia Griffin, individually and as Estate Representative for decedent Darion Donte Robinson, and Edward Robinson filed a complaint  March 10 in Harris County District Court against Grand Park Terrace Apartments alleging  premises liability, negligence and wrongful death. 

According to the complaint, Darion Donte Robinson was sitting in an apartment at the Grand Park Terrace complex in Houston with friends "eating pizza and playing video games" when he suffered multiple, fatal gun shot wounds. The plaintiffs claim the apartment complex has a history of criminal activity and that the defendants failed to have adequate security on the premises. 

They further claim the defendants put residents and visitors at risk and failed to establish security protocol to protect residents and guests from violent activity. 

The plaintiffs seek monetary relief of more than $1 million, interest trial by jury and all other just relief. They are represented by Todd Webb of The Law Office of Todd E. Webb in Houston.
