Veronique Allen, 50, was killed on August 23, 2022, while sitting in her mother’s Main Street home in Bogalusa, Louisiana, where she was getting her hair done. A vehicle pulled up and fired into the residence; Allen was struck in the head by a stray bullet and died. Several others were in the house; Allen’s daughter was grazed by a bullet and was expected to recover. Police believe the shooting was a drive-by and that Allen was not the intended target.

Investigators identified two suspects from Houston, Texas. Christian Myers, 22, was arrested in Scarborough, Maine, on November 1, 2022, and extradited to Louisiana. Aquandre Spencer, 23, was taken into custody in Houston on November 17, 2022, after U.S. Marshals assisted. Authorities say the two were the only occupants of the vehicle. Surveillance footage captured the vehicle’s license plate as it circled the home; the car was later located after the occupants fled following a high-speed chase.

Did anyone in Bogalusa see the vehicle that night or notice a dispute involving a relative of the intended target?
