Michael Darius Allen, a 29-year-old Black man from Simpsonville, was found dead in the parking lot of the Ashton Woods Apartments in Greenville on December 18, 2021. The Greenville County Coroner pronounced him dead at the scene; the cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds and the death was ruled a homicide.

Responding deputies quickly developed a person of interest. Within days authorities arrested 36-year-old David Lee Millbrooks and charged him with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime; he was booked into the Greenville County Detention Center and held without bond. Millbrooks was also facing a separate charge for violating a previous home incarceration order.

Officials have said they believe the shooting was an isolated incident rather than random, but they have not publicly disclosed a specific motive as the investigation and legal process continue. Does anyone have information about Michael Allen or that night at Ashton Woods Apartments?
