Ledon Allen, 27, of Cleveland, Ohio, died on October 22, 2020. His death occurred amid a federal investigation into the Cleveland Cutthroats gang, an affiliate of the Heartless Felons, that prosecutors say engaged in murders, robberies and drug trafficking.

Allen was named in an indictment that charged members of the group with obstructing justice, racketeering, criminal gang activity and conspiracy. Several other alleged members were indicted as part of the same probe, which authorities described as an effort to dismantle the gang and hold its participants accountable.

Allen’s death is presented in the materials as tied to the violent environment surrounding the gang. Anyone with information about Allen, the Cutthroats, or events in Cleveland around October 2020 is asked to come forward.
