Luis Gutierrez was providing police with information about a series of burglaries, and police believe that’s why he was shot four times and killed by a ski-masked assailant in the parking lot of the Alamo Quarry Market movie theater in San Antonio. (They’ve made no arrests as of yet.) His family sued the shopping mall management company, Trammell Crow, for not providing enough security to prevent the premeditated attack; their attorney asked for $5 million and a Bexar County jury awarded $6.5 million. Trammell Crow is appealing. The local paper ran the story without any effort to tell the defendant’s side of the story.
