Christopher Shannon Allen, 54, a Black man from the Homestead area, was fatally shot late on May 24, 2025, in Florida City. Officers responded about 11:23 p.m. to 1445 Northwest 2nd Court and found Allen on the roadway with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to Jackson South Medical Center, where he died despite lifesaving efforts.

Investigators recovered seven spent .40-caliber shell casings and collected witness accounts that the shooter used a handgun equipped with a blue or green laser. Witnesses identified the gunman as 19-year-old Jaylen Lavar Fisher, and detectives say the shooting followed an argument that escalated into gunfire. An arrest was made on June 2, 2025; Fisher was charged with second-degree murder with a firearm and was held without bond while the case proceeded. Fisher invoked his right to counsel and did not give a statement.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, was in the neighborhood that night, or has information about what led to the argument, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Homicide Bureau seeks tips.
