The suit names the owners and operators of The Sienna Apartment Homes as defendants in the case.

Attorney Paul "Chip" Ferguson alleges that the complex has “a long and notorious history of encouraging criminal conduct on its grounds due to its inexcusable failure to provide adequate security and protection" according to the release.

The suit alleges that the complex is in a high-crime area and that broken security gates allowed easy access to the complex.

Andrew Teel, Kera Teel's husband, and their one-year-old daughter are currently represented by Jefferson Fisher and David Fisher while Teel's father is represented by David Bernsen.
