Keith Blevins was 29 when he was fatally shot during a violent home invasion at his Memphis residence on July 22, 2014. The shooting occurred in the 4000 block of Rhodes Avenue after two teenagers forced their way into the home; Blevins, a Black male, died at the scene.

Investigators identified two teenagers, William Allen and Dontayell Balfour, and both were later indicted on first-degree murder charges alleging the killing occurred during the commission of a felony. After indictment, Allen and Balfour were held in custody without bond and the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office prosecuted the case.

Further inquiry linked William Allen to a separate home invasion two days later in the 4400 block of Willow Road. In that incident Allen and 19-year-old Dontavious Curtis were accused of stealing more than $10,000 in guns, watches, and jewelry at gunpoint; Curtis faced aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary charges and was released on a $25,000 bond.

Did anyone in the Rhodes Avenue or Willow Road neighborhoods see activity around those dates or have information about these incidents?
