Under the legal theory of premises liability negligence you may be able to sue the owner of the property on which the crime occurred. Keep in mind that the statute of limitation for negligence is 3 years.

This will depend on the relative degrees of culpability of different defendants. You may certainly sue the perpentrator of the crime, without knowing more facts, your situation is impossible to assess.
Suing the perpetrator of this horrible crime will not likely result in you being compensated. The owner of the location or managing agent may be liable if they failed to provide adequate security. You may also be eligible to make a claim for benefits from a fund set up for crime victims. Please feel free to contact this office for a free consultation.
If you have not yet retained an attorney or have not yet been informed about your rights, you may contact me to discuss your grievance. Your question requires a detailed interview and pertinent personal information to pursue different theories of liability.
