On the evening of May 12, 2025, 18-year-old Martino Allen Jr. was shot and killed at his apartment in the Legacy Ridge Apartments in Union City, a suburb of Atlanta. Allen, a Black senior at McNair High School who was due to graduate a week later and had recently attended prom, answered a knock shortly before 10 p.m. from people claiming to be from Uber Eats and was met instead by gunfire.

Three masked, hooded assailants opened fire; a neighbor’s doorbell camera recorded the shots and captured footage of the masked individuals approaching the apartment. Family members say some people who were with Allen inside fled the scene without speaking to police, and the family believes he was set up because of trouble he had at school. The Union City Police Department is investigating; no arrests have been announced and police have not released suspect identities or a motive.

Did anyone in Union City see the masked individuals that night or have information about who might have been with Martino in the apartment?
