On Saturday, November 3, police charged Julio Landron-Sanchez with five counts of second-degree assault and one count of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon in connection with a shooting that left five people wounded at Rio Nightclub that morning. He was arraigned on Saturday at around 1 p.m., with his bail set at $50,000.
Five people were hospitalized following the shooting at the nightclub on Franklin Street at around 1:20 a.m. on Saturday. All five were transported to Samaritan Medical Center, and one was transferred to Upstate Medical in Syracuse. All five were eventually released.
According to the police, the victims were between ages 19 and 23. The shooting is said to have occurred outside of the club near a wooden fence. Investigators found the handgun used in the shooting in a backyard off Franklin Street.
Gun crime lawyer, Laurence Banville, helps the victims of preventable shootings get justice and support in cases involving property owner negligence. Here are some of his thoughts on nightclub owner liability for shootings and other violent incidents:
Owning property comes with many responsibilities, least of which is making sure that the property is safe from preventable dangers. Nightclub owners and other property owners have a legal duty to guard against the risk of foreseeable violent crime. When a violent incident occurs due to a failure to meet this legal duty, that property owner could potentially be held liable for damages by the victims and their families.
In some cases, property owner negligence like inadequate security plays a role in failing to prevent a violent crime.
