On April 4, 2018, intruders forced their way into a Penrose neighborhood home in West Baltimore shortly after noon and shot 43-year-old Chanette Neal and her 21-year-old daughter Justice Allen. Investigators described the attack as targeted, not random; early information indicated the perpetrators went to that address looking for a specific relative who was a rival of a high-ranking gang member. When the intended target was not at the house, both women were killed in the double homicide.

The Baltimore Police Department and the FBI worked the case for years. Investigators treated it as gang-related and in March 2020 a reward was offered for information leading to an arrest. A later federal prosecution of a Black Guerilla Family member presented evidence that a gang-affiliated hitman and co-conspirators carried out the shootings; one man was sentenced to 38 years in federal prison on a racketeering conspiracy count that included his role in the murders.

Anyone who knew Chanette Neal or Justice Allen, or who has information on the people who entered that house on April 4, 2018, is urged to come forward.
