HOUSTON, TX – A lawsuit has been filed against Avenue Terrace Apartments, located at 4004 Irvington, alleging negligence following a fatal altercation at the complex two years ago. The plaintiffs, including the family of Brayan Cuevas, who was fatally shot, claim the complex ignored repeated tenant complaints about a resident who disturbed the peace.
The lawsuit (filed in Harris County District Court #165 under Case No. 2024-66003) alleges that on September 25, 2022, the resident invited Reginald Torres to seek revenge on her behalf, leading to the fatal shooting of Cuevas. The plaintiffs accuse Avenue Terrace Apartments of failing to provide security or take action despite knowledge of the resident’s criminal behavior. They seek damages, asserting that the complex’s negligence contributed to the death and the assault on others.
