Dessire Allen, 35, was shot and killed in her San Antonio apartment on October 25, 2017, shortly after midnight. She was hit in the head while sleeping around 1:15 a.m. and was pronounced dead at 2:05 a.m. Allen was two months pregnant at the time and leaves three sons; friends and family remembered her as a caring person and a devoted mother.

Police say the gunman, identified as 32-year-old Desmond Leray Farr (known as Chicago), fired from outside Allen’s window and fled. Investigators linked the shooting to an earlier altercation Farr had with a man who lived in the same building; prosecutors allege Farr returned to settle a dispute and that Allen may not have been the intended target.

Farr was arrested hours later and charged in the killing. Anyone who knew Dessire Allen, her family, or who has information about the events that night is asked to come forward.
