It also alleges that Shanghai Plaza should have been aware of violent crime reported in the area before the shooting, but did not implement safety measures.

Wang's attorneys accused The Bail Project for, "No due diligence in determining whether Rashawn Gaston-Anderson would be a danger to the community and likely re-offend."
