Your Family Was Shot at a Motel on US 160. Here Is What Colorado Law Actually Does About It. We are sorry you are reading this. The people who come to our firm after a family member has been shot at a motel are not “cases” to us — they are fathers, mothers, sisters, and brothers who just buried someone at a place that was supposed to be safe enough to spend the night. We will not dress this page up. We are going to tell you, in plain English, what Colorado law gives you when your loved one is killed at a place like the Wapiti Lodge in west Durango, who can be held responsible, what the deadline looks like, and exactly what to do in the next 72 hours so the proof does not disappear while you are still planning the funeral. The April 2026 sentencing of Johnny Cash Kimbrough to 44 years and 364 days in the Colorado Department of Corrections for the October 25, 2023 shooting death of Quentin Mayberry at the Wapiti Lodge is a criminal conviction. It puts the shooter in prison for most of his remaining life. It does not pay your family…

What an FBI Shooting on Brook Road Means for the Family on the Ground and the Bystander Caught in the Crossfire If you are reading this in the days after the gunfire stopped in the parking lot of a motel on Brook Road in Henrico County, you are reading it for one of two reasons. You are the relative of the man the FBI shot to death on June 11, 2026, and you want to know whether the United States of America can be held responsible for ending his life. Or you are the bystander who was hit by a bullet that was not meant for you, and you want to know what your rights are against the agency that fired the shots. Both questions lead to the same place, but the legal roads are very different, and the difference is going to shape everything that happens next. We are trial lawyers at Attorney911. We take civil cases across state lines, including federal-tort and wrongful-death cases in Virginia. We are not your lawyers yet. The hour after you read this is when we can become them, and the steps in this article are designed so that when you call our…

The Night the Basement Bar Served Her Past Unconscious You did not walk into that bar expecting to wake up in a stranger’s room with no memory of how you got there. You went to Hotel Belmont on Granville Street that January night in 2020 because it was a place to have a drink, meet people, and get back to your own room — Room 107 — before the night ended. Instead, somewhere between the bar on the bottom floor and your room upstairs, you lost everything: your memory, your clothes, your ability to consent, and for a while, your voice. When the police found you, you were nude and unconscious. When the officer roused you enough to ask what had happened, you said, “I wasn’t raped.” You said it because that is what trauma does — it makes you fight the truth out loud, even as the truth is forming underneath. That moment, when you told the police officer “I wasn’t raped,” is the single piece of the defence the other side will try to use against you. We know this. We know what tonic immobility looks like. We know what dissociative denial looks like. We know what it…

When the Place That Was Supposed to Be Safe Became the Crime Scene: How We Help Survivors in Jacksonville, Onslow County, North Carolina You checked into a hotel near Camp Lejeune for a quiet stay. You walked out having been drugged, sexually assaulted, and then told the place you paid to stay was no longer the right place for you. The police came and went without taking a single piece of evidence from your room. The report they wrote down did not even use the word “assault.” And now, somewhere between the bruises on your arms and the soreness in your neck, you are trying to figure out what your rights actually are, what evidence still exists, and who pays for what was done to you. We work these cases. Our team at Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC — has built a trial practice around exactly the kind of catastrophic injury and negligent-security cases that arise when a property owner invites the public in and then fails to protect the people inside.

A Phone Call You Never Wanted to Make It was a Friday night. Valentine’s Day weekend. Your loved one went out — maybe with friends, maybe to meet someone new. The address was a house in East Memphis, somewhere off Park Avenue, the kind of place you book on an app and pay for by the night. Music was loud enough to be heard from the street. Cars kept coming and going. By the time the call came, multiple weapons had already fired. The 911 recording would later note the time as just past 11:24 p.m. Six people ran to a white SUV and disappeared into the Memphis night. Someone performed CPR on the lawn. An ambulance came. Your loved one was taken to the hospital in critical condition. The next call told you the rest. If you are reading this, you are probably somewhere in the days or weeks after that call. You are not thinking about civil litigation right now. You are thinking about the funeral, about your children, about the empty chair, about why this happened. That is exactly where your mind should be. But the evidence clock is already running. And the people who profited from…

The Phone Call That Comes at 4 a.m. The phone rings and the voice on the other end is someone you love, or someone calling because of someone you love. The words come out in pieces. Someone is dead. The police are at the motel. He was in his forties. They found him in the parking lot. There were gunshots, more than one round, then a pause, then more rounds. He never made it back to the room. If this is your family right now, we are sorry. We have sat at too many of these kitchen tables to pretend the next few words will help. They will not help the way you need. But they will tell you what is true, and what is coming, and who has to answer for it, and how to keep the evidence that will decide your case from disappearing before the sun comes up. On May 7, 2026, around 3 a.m., a man in his forties was found dead in the parking lot of the Midtown Lodge on Philips Highway in Jacksonville, Florida. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office responded after motel management called and reported hearing gunfire. Officers found the man suffering from multiple…

The Phone Call That Changes Everything We have sat across from too many families in rooms like yours to dress this up. A man went to stay at a motel on Bush River Road in Columbia, South Carolina, on or about May 7, 2026. He did not come home. The Richland County Coroner’s Office later identified him. What we know from the public record is that he died from gunshot wounds on the premises of a commercial lodging property, and that Richland County and Columbia law enforcement responded that morning to investigate the circumstances of the fatal shooting. The case remains an active criminal investigation. The motel’s responsibility, the security decisions it made and the ones it didn’t, the prior calls for service at that address, the lighting that night, the cameras, the locks, the staff on duty, and the warnings that may or may not have reached the front desk are all questions that the criminal investigation may never answer for the family. They are precisely the questions a civil negligent-security case is designed to answer. We wrote this page for one reader. You are sitting in a living room in Columbia, or West Columbia, or Cayce, or Irmo,…

A Family Is Searching the Internet at 2 a.m. for the Answer to a Question They Never Imagined Asking On May 14, 2026, at approximately 11:37 in the morning, a 41-year-old man walking through the parking lot of the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center on the 5700 block of Marinelli Road in North Bethesda, Montgomery County, was approached by another man he knew. What happened next ended his life on the asphalt of a commercial parking lot, in the middle of a weekday, in front of cameras. The man accused of the shooting — 41-year-old Terrance Brainell Williams, of Silver Spring — drove away on Rockville Pike and was not taken into custody until thirteen days later, on May 27, at his residence, charged with first-degree murder. We are writing for two people. First, the family member reading this on a phone in a hospital parking lot or at a kitchen table: the person trying to figure out what just happened, who is responsible, and what the law lets them do. Second, the family member still too numb to read, who will hear this read aloud by someone else. The criminal case against Mr. Williams will run on…

The Night You Walked Into That Hotel Room Changed Everything. The Civil Law Has Not Forgotten What Happened Next. We understand. You did not come to a page like this looking for a stranger. You came because a married man — not a stranger to the planning of that evening, and not a stranger in any sense the law cares about — used a luxury hotel room in Southampton to commit a serious sexual offence. The criminal court has now heard the case, convicted him, and sent him to prison. That is not the end of the legal story. In one sense, it is only the beginning. The same facts that put him behind bars are the foundation of a civil claim — against him personally, and against the hotel company that gave him the key. This page is about that civil claim. It is written for one person: the survivor who is deciding whether to step into a courtroom a second time and ask, in a different forum, for a different kind of justice. We will not promise you the outcome. We will walk you through the law as it actually exists in England and Wales, what the hotel’s…

If You Are Reading This at 2 a.m. After a Hotel Sexual Assault in Boston, Read This First You did not come to this page by accident. Someone you love was raped at a Boston hotel, and you want to know what a civil case can actually do — who can be sued, how much it is worth, what the criminal trial underway in Suffolk County does to the civil case, and whether the evidence that proves what happened still exists somewhere you can reach. We are Attorney911, a national trial firm. We take Massachusetts sexual assault cases through the Massachusetts trial team, working with local Massachusetts counsel on a pro hac vice basis where the court requires it. We have spent more than two decades taking on the deepest pocketed defendants in rooms we did not pick — the hotel chain, the international bar company, the foreign fire department — and forcing them to face a survivor in a civil courtroom, not just a criminal one. The page below is what we would walk a survivor through, in plain language, if she called us tonight. Past results depend on the facts of each case and do not guarantee future…
