Darrell Allen, 25, was fatally shot on the evening of May 16, 2018, outside the Genesis Health Club at the Ward Parkway shopping center in south Kansas City. Allen, who had been living in Texas, was visiting family in his hometown when the attack occurred.

Around 9:45 p.m. a man with a white T-shirt covering his head began shooting as Allen left the gym. Allen tried to flee and was chased about 100 yards through the parking lot while witnesses estimated the shooter fired between 20 and 30 shots. Allen collapsed on a sidewalk and was later pronounced dead. The shooter, described as a Black male, fled in a dark-colored vehicle. The scene produced numerous shell casings and surveillance footage.

Investigators consider the attack targeted rather than random. No arrests have been announced and the gunman remains at large. If anyone saw the shooting, the suspect’s vehicle, or has other information about Darrell Allen’s death, please come forward.
