Description

The Metropolitan Park District (Metro) rented out space to Ghetto Down Productions to put on a private dance. During the dance, Derrick Wilbert was shot and killed by two assailants. Wilbert's family (the Wilberts) sued Metro alleging theories of premises liability and voluntarily-assumed duty based on an alcohol policy of Metro. The trial court granted Metro's motion for summary judgment, finding that Metro owed no legal duty to protect Wilbert from the criminal activities of third parties. We affirm, holding that the criminal slaying was not reasonably foreseeable as a matter of law, and that any violations of Metro's alcohol policy were not a proximate cause of the killing.
