Patrice Marie Hairston-Allen, 26, was fatally shot in her Dauphin Street apartment in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on September 25, 2017. The shooting happened about 11:30 PM during what police described as a botched home invasion and drug robbery. A second woman in the apartment, Patrice’s girlfriend Jasmine Holmes, heard banging at the front door and tried to hold it closed; during the struggle a shot passed over Holmes’ forearm and struck Patrice in the stomach. Patrice was taken to the hospital and died the following day.

Police searched the apartment after the incident and recovered marijuana, scales, $4,000 in cash, and two guns; investigators reported Patrice and Holmes were involved in the illegal drug trade. Patrice was the daughter of Rev. Franklin Hairston-Allen, president of the Greater Harrisburg Area chapter of the NAACP, and was remembered by family as aspiring to be a veterinarian and enjoying music and dancing.
