Terrence Allen, a 26-year-old Black man, was fatally shot in Memphis on June 5, 2021. Federal prosecutors later described the killing as a premeditated act tied to gang hierarchy rather than a random shooting.

A superseding federal indictment unsealed in February 2024 names three men — Edward Earl Allen Jr., 40, also known as E-Money, of San Bernardino; Vincent Grant, 40, known as V Slash, of Memphis; and Deandre Rodgers, 27, known as Dre, of Memphis — alleging they discharged a firearm to kill Allen to gain and maintain positions within the Unknown Vice Lords – Ghost Mob. Each was charged with causing death by use of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, offenses that carry penalties up to life imprisonment or death under the indictment.

The investigation involved the ATF, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Memphis Police Department and assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service, with prosecution by the Criminal Division’s Violent Crime and Racketeering Section and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Tennessee.
