$18M For A Teen Shot At A Convenient Store

$18M For A Teen Shot At A Convenient Store

Introduction

A federal jury ordered the owner of the Little Rock convenience store to pay $18 million to the family of a teen who was shot and killed inside the store.

As per the court documents, the boy was a bystander at the store when he was accidentally shot with bullets. The attorneys assessed the incident and the scenario which concluded that the owner was responsible for the mishap. The police provided a three-year report of the investigation which suggested that the owner of the store was incapable of providing the basic measures that could have prevented the incident.

The verdict came five years after the incident. The attorney for the deceased's family said that even though the family has been awarded the settlement, it cannot get the boy back. The verdict will prevent further such scenarios that could result in senseless deaths in the future.
