Malcom Allen was 19 when he was shot just after 12:40 p.m. on November 5, 2015, outside an apartment building near Silverleaf Avenue and Montgomery Road in Cincinnati’s Pleasant Ridge neighborhood. He was rushed to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and died there later that day; the coroner confirmed his identity.

Police described a tense investigation in the hours after the shooting but did not announce a motive or name any suspects. Initial statements said officers were still seeking information about who fired the shots; no immediate arrests or additional suspect descriptions were released at that time.

Allen’s name was later included in local remembrances of the year’s shooting victims, which repeated his age, date and place of death. Funeral services were held locally later that month. If anyone saw or heard anything around Silverleaf Avenue and Montgomery Road on November 5, 2015, please come forward with information.
