WILKES-BARRE - A grieving grandmother thinks an Edwardsville housing complex shares responsibility in her grandson's murder.

And she's taking the owners to court for it.

But Margie Bloome, who has produced filings without the help of an attorney since June, recognized after a hearing Monday that she might need a little more help.

"I can't do all of that and mourn, too," she told the Times Leader.

Bloome, of Long Island, New York, lost her 26-year-old grandson Daron Rhashawn Trollinger, of Edwardsville, in a May 2012 shooting at Eagle Ridge apartments. Police said the shooting was the result of a marijuana deal gone bad.

Another Edwardsville man, George Lee Barnes, is serving a 15- to 30-year prison sentence after admitting in December 2013 to pulling the trigger.

With her grandson's admitted killer behind bars, Bloome said she felt - as the administrator of Trollinger's estate - Eagle Ridge should be held accountable as well.

She alleges that management was aware of ongoing illegal activity on the property and, in spite of this, negligently allowed lax security practices. For example, Bloome said, surveillance cameras on the premises don't work, and doors to some apartment buildings don't lock.

Conversationally, Bloome rattles off details of the case with ease. But in the concise format of a legal document, she's meeting difficulties expressing her allegations.

As Judge Tina Polachek Gartley gently informed Bloome inside a Luzerne County Courtroom on Monday, her complaint simply does not meet the requirements outlined by state Rules of Civil Procedure. The facts of her case are not where they need to be.

However, Gartley did express appreciation for the amount of "leg work" Bloome has sunk into the case and allowed her 30 more days to amend her complaint.

The judge granted the objections set forth by Laura Danks, an attorney for Eagle Ridge operator Silver Street Development Corporation. In her written objections, Danks indicates that Bloome's complaint, as Gartley agreed, fails to meet legal standards.

After the hearing, Bloome told reporters she soon will be seeking the help of the civil rights organization National Action Network.

The current language of Bloome's suit seeks $5 billion in damages.

Bloome also filed notice of her intent to sue Hilltop Apartments in Edwardsville in connection with what she alleges was a theft of Trollinger's identity. According to Bloome, someone at the apartment complex made a call requesting a replacement debit card in her grandson's name approximately five hours after he was killed.
