A lawsuit alleging negligence and wrongful death has been filed in District Court following the January death of a security guard working at the entry gate to an upscale Henderson community.
Mark Theodore Streit, 60, died as he was trying to help an RC Willey delivery truck back out of a driveway at the entrance to Roma Hills.
The lawsuit, filed March 25 on behalf of Streit’s widow, Sharon Streit, alleges negligence on the part of the box truck driver, RC Willey, the Roma Hills Owners’ Association and Real Properties Management Group, Inc.
Included in the lawsuit is a letter to a manager for Real Properties expressing concern over the “current Roma Hills gate and road situation” and road work that is “incredibly dangerous.” An unnamed resident sent the letter the morning of March 25, according to lawyers for Sharon Streit.
According to the letter, “The main gate has 1 way in and with multiple projects taking place there are literally 20-30 vehicles trying to get in with 1 guard. This is impossible and dangerous. We Love Mark but the guy is just overwhelmed.”
The letter even offers a list of solutions needed to address the problem. When the truck could not get through the entrance, Streit told the driver he would have to use a construction entrance, and went to clear traffic behind the box truck so it could back out.
A news story based on information from Henderson police indicates Streit fell in the path of the truck for unknown reasons. But the lawsuit alleges the truck hit Streit and knocked him down before rolling over him.
Allegations in the lawsuit claim the driver and another employee who failed to assist are responsible for the guard’s death. The RC Willey employees “acted recklessly, maliciously, and/or oppressively with intent to allow injury and death to the Decedent,” according to claims in the lawsuit.
Sharon Streit is represented by lawyers from the Prince Law Group. The lawsuit seeks general, compensatory, special and pecuniary damages in excess of $50,000, and punitive damages on top of that.

Victim of shooting at Henderson golf course files lawsuit
A complaint was recently filed on behalf of Daniel Sauls, the victim of an April 17 shooting at Legacy Golf Course in Henderson, against the estate of Clarence Jackson and Mary Casey for damages that exceed $50,000.
The complaint, filed by attorneys Dennis M. Prince and Angela Lee of Prince Law Group, states Sauls was playing the 16th hole of Legacy Golf Course with friends when a ball hit a neighboring home. Jackson emerged from the home, threw the golf ball back at the golfers, hitting one in the face, and engaged in a verbal disagreement.
Once the argument de-escalated, the golfers continued to play the 16th hole and then got into a golf cart to travel to the next hole, which crossed Ping Drive. As the golf cart was crossing the road, Jackson approached with a firearm.
According to the complaint, the gun discharged accidentally and “at no point did Jackson deliberately or purposefully point his firearm” and “was shocked that the firearm accidentally went off and appeared shaken.” The bullet entered Sauls’ hand, struck him in the abdomen and lodged in his small intestine.
As friends administered care to Sauls, Casey arrived on the scene and called emergency services. Jackson retreated to the home and took his own life.
The complaint alleges Jackson was negligent and did not exercise “reasonable care concerning the firearm and the dangerous condition he created,” and Casey failed to store the firearm in a safe place, creating a safety hazard. The complaint was filed in the Eighth Judicial Court in Clark County, Nevada.
“It’s unfortunate and unacceptable that an outing for fun and recreation would result in an innocent person confronted with a life-threatening situation,” Prince said. “There was no reason for this situation to spiral into violence.”

Widow of Guard Killed by Furniture Truck Files Nevada Case
The widow of a security guard killed struck and killed by a furniture delivery truck maneuvering out of a tight spot in an upscale southern Nevada neighborhood is seeking monetary damages from the furniture company and others.
Attorneys for Sharon Streit allege in a civil lawsuit filed March 25 in state court in Las Vegas that R.C. Willey Home Furnishings and the Roma Hills community owners association in Henderson were among those responsible for what the complaint called wrongful death and negligence.
A spokesman for Utah-based R.C. Willey did not immediately respond Wednesday to a telephone message.
Attorney Martin Kravitz, representing the homeowners’ association, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal he was not immediately served with the lawsuit.
Mark Streit, 60, was at a guarded gate entrance where a construction project created a traffic bottleneck and a delivery truck driven by an unnamed driver was forced to turn around, authorities said. Streit was fatally struck when the truck backed up.
“This tragic outcome could have been avoided had common sense safety precautions been in place,” attorney Dennis Prince said in a prepared statement.
Kravitz told the Review-Journal he lives in the community, where people thought highly of Streit and were shocked by his death.
