Ronnie Allen, 63, was shot and killed in the predawn hours of August 28, 2025, in Greenville, Alabama. He had just pulled into the employee parking lot at Hwashin, a Hyundai supplier on the east side of town, and investigators say someone approached him as he exited his vehicle and shot him at close range, striking his chest. Allen was taken to a hospital but did not survive.

Greenville police treated the scene as a homicide and said detectives were using video surveillance to reconstruct the moments around the attack. By the end of the day no suspect, motive, or arrest had been publicly identified. Funeral arrangements and memorial listings were posted with services planned in early September in Greenville.

If anyone has information about what happened that morning in the Hwashin employee lot, please come forward to help the investigation.
