Family of Leominster Stabbing Victim Files Lawsuit Against Apartment Complex, Security Firms

The family of Robert Wright-Day, a 20-year-old man fatally stabbed outside the Riverside Village Apartments in Leominster on May 7, 2024, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the apartment complex, its management, and the security companies involved. The suit alleges negligence, claiming that security personnel were absent during the incident, which contributed to Wright-Day's death. His mother, Stacey Houston, emphasized that timely intervention by security could have saved her son. The lawsuit highlights a history of complaints about large gatherings at the property, which led management to hire security services that failed to fulfill their obligations on the night of the stabbing. Three individuals have been charged in connection with the incident. The family seeks accountability from those they believe neglected their duty of care.
