The shooting capped months of bizarre, sometimes violent behavior that was reported to management as recently as four days before the attack, the suit said.

Tenants of a Marina del Rey apartment complex, where a man went on a shooting rampage from his unit, are suing the landlord and a security company for negligence, breach of contract and emotional distress over the incident they claim was preventable. The shooting capped months of bizarre and sometimes violent behavior by the tenant that was reported to management and security as recently as four days before the April 13 attack, according to the lawsuit.

” Residents also claim in the lawsuit that three weeks before the shooting, a person who was subletting space in Nguyen’s apartment, a violation of the lease terms, had moved out and warned that Nguyen was allegedly stalking people, brandishing weapons and mentally decompensating from an ostensibly drug-induced psychosis. Three days before the shooting rampage, Derrell Riley, a tenant and witness, wrote to Equity management about an April 9 incident by the pool area.
