The lawsuit was filed Monday in Dallas County district court by Tara Jeff and Omari Frazier and on behalf of their son Omarian Frazier, who was fatally shot...
Dallas police responded just before 6 p.m. April 5 to a shooting at the 7-Eleven in the 1000 block of Ross Avenue and found the teens shot. Omarian Frazier died there, and the other teen was hospitalized in critical condition, police said., a nonprofit restaurant that provides life-skills training to youths who have been in the juvenile justice system.
According to the lawsuit, 7-Eleven had a duty to make the store premises reasonably safe, and they breached that by failing to eliminate or mitigate a dangerous condition. It added it failed to provide adequate warning of the danger to Omarian Frazier. Representatives for 7-Eleven did not respond to a request for comment. The attorneys representing Jeff and Omari Frazier did not immediately return a request for comment.
The lawsuit says the store and the retail company knew or should have known: dangerous individuals may come to the property due to inadequate supervision, monitoring and patrolling; the store premises or immediate vicinity was the scene of numerous violent crimes and habitual criminal acts; and those crimes at or near the stores gave them notice to exercise care in implementing security procedures and personnel to reduce the likelihood of such crimes.
The lawsuit also says the store maintained “inadequate staffing, training and security personnel on the property at the time of the shooting.” Doing so, it said, would have reasonably deterred or prevented Omarian Frazier’s death.
