1Opinion of the Court

PRISCILLA R. OWEN, Circuit Judge:

An unknown assailant shot Shannon Jenkins in the doorway of Jenkins’s apartment. Jenkins sued the premises owner, C.R.E.S. Management, L.L.C., and related entities (collectively, C.R.E.S.), alleging C.R.E.S. had a duty to protect him from unreasonable and foreseeable harm due to the criminal acts of third parties. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of C.R.E.S., concluding that the apartment complex’s criminal history was insufficient to render foreseeable the assault against Jenkins. We reverse and remand.
