Bay’Asia Loyalti Allah was 13 when she was killed in a drive-by shooting on July 24, 2021, in Monroe, North Carolina. She had been sitting at a picnic table with friends around 8 p.m., waiting for a DoorDash order, when a bullet struck her on Icemorlee Drive. She was taken to Atrium Health Union and was pronounced dead there.

Police found multiple shell casings at the scene and say the shots came from a black Ford Freestyle SUV that fled after the shooting. No other victims were reported at the scene. The Monroe Police Department and the Union County Sheriff’s Office arrested four men charged with first-degree murder: Javon Demontre Robinson, 20; Darius Roland, 19; Jamari Crowder, 22; and Jamari McClain, 18, who were held in Union County jail without bond.

Family and community members mourned Bay’Asia; her mother, Yvette Allen, described her as kind, loving, and passionate about learning and loving others, and attended her funeral at Blakely’s Funeral Home in Monroe. Does anyone who was nearby that evening or who knew Bay’Asia have information that could help the case?
