explanation
On January 14, 2010, the City was served with a Summons and Complaint filed by Patricia Kelleher as Personal Representative for the Estate of Andrew David Arosemena in the Circuit Court. Ms. Kelleher alleges that on November 25, 2007, her son was shot and killed by an assailant while in the City's parking garage. She alleges that the City did not maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition by its failure to provide security nor did the City warn users of alleged criminal activity occurring on the premises. Ms. Kelleher claims that she and Andrew David Arosemena's brother, Kristopher Arosemena have sustained loss of support and services, mental pain and anguish, medical and funeral expenses, loss of prospective net accumulations, and that these losses are either permanent or continuing in nature. Ms. Kelleher seeks money damages.
