Jamier Allen, 24, of Albany was reported missing by family after last being seen on the evening of Saturday, March 22, 2025. Loved ones remembered him as a warm, outgoing man known as Mier Mier who worked as a drug counselor and direct support staff member at the Addiction Care Center of Albany and who enjoyed driving and spending time with relatives, especially his younger cousins.

Investigators say Allen was lured to a wooded area off Boenau Street and shot to death that night. His car was found deliberately set on fire near Delaware Street and Eagle Street at about 10:45 p.m. His body was discovered in the woods on the afternoon of March 26; an autopsy determined he died of multiple gunshot wounds to the head and body. The Albany Police Department opened a homicide investigation and described the killing as gang-related, reporting that suspects believed Allen would provide police information about a drive-by shooting earlier that day.
