Victims file lawsuit against crime-ridden shopping center following attack

EAST POINT, Ga. — People are worried for their safety after attackers pistol-whipped a woman in a busy shopping center.

Channel 2's Nefertiti Jaquez learned that a lawsuit has now been filed and there are claims the area is unsafe for shoppers.

“Who doesn’t want to feel safe when they’re shopping?” shopper Noel Ross said.

Camp Creek Marketplace sits just off Interstate 285 and many use the road it sits on to get to Hartsfield Jackson International Airport.

Ross said he’s concerned about his safety while shopping at one of the busiest plazas in the metro area.

“People getting beat, almost to death, old women getting robbed. Of course, they should be doing more,” Ross said.
