Michael Mikey Allen, 36, was found dead inside his Townsley Street home in the Scotlandville area of Baton Rouge on August 12, 2019, after friends and family had not seen or heard from him for several days. Baton Rouge Police detectives immediately classified the death as a homicide and focused their inquiries on Allen’s recent activities and relationships, which investigators say pointed to a person of interest and an ongoing domestic dispute as the likely motive.

Within a short period investigators arrested a 16-year-old male juvenile and charged him with first-degree murder and juvenile in possession of a firearm in the shooting death of Allen. Because of his age the suspect’s name was not released; he was booked into the Juvenile Detention Center. Additional charges listed included being a fugitive from the Office of Juvenile Justice for theft of a firearm and simple burglary.

Are there details about Allen’s life or the Scotlandville neighborhood in August 2019 that anyone can share that might help clarify what happened?
