On the morning of February 6, 2021, two people were found shot to death in a second-floor apartment on the 4500 block of Old York Road in the Logan neighborhood of Philadelphia. Responding officers discovered 33-year-old Christopher Williams in the bathroom with gunshot wounds to his head and arm, and 35-year-old Shakia M. Allen in a bedroom with multiple gunshot wounds to her head and back. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

The double homicide was one of two such incidents in the city that weekend. Police responded to a call at approximately 10:40 a.m., and an arrest was announced two days later on February 8, 2021. Authorities characterized the case as solved and said legal proceedings were pending, but the arrested individual’s name and specific charges have not been released.

If anyone has information about Shakia Allen or Christopher Williams, or about the events at the Old York Road apartment, please come forward to the Philadelphia Police Department.
