Several families in Miami Gardens have decided to take legal action against the owners of a local apartment complex following a series of tragic events. The families of Edward Dixon and Taborez White are at the forefront of this lawsuit, claiming that the management of the apartment complex has failed to provide adequate security measures to protect its residents.
During a press conference held on Wednesday morning, the mothers of Edward Dixon and Taborez White shared their heartbreak over the loss of their sons. Edward Dixon’s mother, Marcia Dixon, expressed her grief over losing her son in the prime of his life, while Robin Gore, White’s mother, lamented the fact that her son would have turned 21 but was robbed of his future.
The tragic events unfolded on January 4, 2023, when Edward Dixon was visiting a friend at the Cedar Grove Apartments and was fatally shot. Six months later, on July 24, 2023, Taborez White was shot and killed outside his home. Additionally, a 19-year-old resident was seriously injured in a shooting at the property, prompting his family to join the lawsuit against the apartment complex owners.
The families have filed a negligent security lawsuit, alleging that the owners of the apartment complex failed to address the foreseeable risk of violent crime on their property. Attorney Joshua Padron emphasized that these incidents were not isolated and that the apartment complex had a history of security issues that were ignored.
Despite the tragic events and the lawsuit, the families claim that no additional security measures have been implemented at the apartment complex. They are hopeful that their legal action will lead to improved security measures to prevent further tragedies. Additionally, they are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the individuals responsible for the shootings.
If you have any information regarding these crimes, you are urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can provide information anonymously, and you may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000 for any valuable information provided.
In conclusion, the families affected by these senseless acts of violence are seeking justice and accountability from the owners of the apartment complex. By shedding light on these incidents and seeking public support, they hope to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.
