A 40-year-old man identified as Jorge Becerra-V. He was killed after getting shot in a strip mall parking lot in Anaheim on Friday night, March 18, 2022.

The incident occurred at around 8:00 p.m. The suspect, identified as 52-year-old Adalid A., was arguing with his girlfriend at a parking lot.

The suspect then noticed the 40-year-old man watching their argument. When the suspect confronted the victim, he then fatally shot him. The suspect fled the scene after the incident.

The victim was rushed to an area hospital. Unfortunately, the victim later succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.

Authorities were able to arrest the suspect the next day on the 4000 block of South Main Street. He was booked into the Anaheim Detention Facility on suspicion of murder, police said. He remained in custody Monday instead of $1 million bails.

Local authorities are further investigating the case.

Negligent Security Facts

When it comes to physical assault cases, things can get very unexpected. A mass shooting, for example, can leave victims with no idea who to hold responsible for their deaths, let alone the perpetrators of such heinous crimes.

A business or property can’t predict the future. Nonetheless, they must establish reasonable security precautions to protect authorized guests against crimes that can be predicted in advance.

If the crime might have been prevented or less likely to occur if effective security had been in place, the property owner may be charged with negligent security. Both residential and commercial property owners can be held liable for safety violations. However, the property determines the extent of the owner’s responsibilities.

Property owners in California are liable for criminal conduct committed by third parties if they fail to take reasonable precautions to protect their property. Enhanced security may be required if there is a history of violent crime, such as robberies, assaults, or bar fights, in the vicinity.
