Allen Markese Palmer, 21, was fatally shot on May 16, 2017, on the Northeast Side of Columbus, Ohio. The shooting occurred about 6:38 p.m. on the 1700 block of Sugarmaple Drive while Palmer and a friend, KerVonne Day, were visiting. Palmer got out of a car to speak to occupants of a blue Audi; an argument ensued and multiple shots were fired. Palmer was taken to OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital and died several hours later.

Witnesses and Day said Palmer was killed without reason. Neighbors reported hearing shots and a woman scream; crime scene tape and shards of glass were left on the porch where the shooting happened. Columbus police identified 23-year-old Devin Lee Douthitt as the suspect; he was apprehended shortly after the shooting with help from a police helicopter and was charged with murder. Sgt. Stan Latta of the homicide squad oversaw the investigation.

Did anyone in the area at the time see what led to the argument or know the occupants of the blue Audi?
