Nearly two years ago, Freddy Nelson Jr. was fatally shot in a North Portland Lowe’s parking lot by Logan Gimbel, a private security guard for Cornerstone, now serving a life sentence for second-degree murder. Nelson, who had an agreement with Lowe's to collect and sell unwanted pallets, was confronted by Gimbel, and things escalated quickly. The security company and the property management are now facing a civil trial related to their involvement in this tragic outcome. This incident raises critical questions about security practices and training—topics every contractor and business owner should be aware of.
