Deandre Allen, a 27-year-old Black father of six, was shot and killed in Milwaukee on the afternoon of December 26, 2016, one day after celebrating Christmas with his family. He had been getting a haircut and spoke with his mother around 1:25 p.m., saying he was going to meet a friend at a barbershop; he was pronounced dead less than 20 minutes later.

Investigators say Allen was driven to the area of North 39th and West Michigan streets in the Miller Valley neighborhood, dropped off, and began walking through a relatively secluded stretch. A neighbor, Julius Thomas, saw him shortly before a rapid series of gunshots; police recovered both 40-caliber and 9mm shell casings at the scene, and concluded gunfire came from a passing vehicle. Allen suffered numerous gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead around 1:44 p.m.

Family members have said the person who transported Allen that afternoon was thought to be a friend or acquaintance, raising questions about why he was taken to that location.

Did anyone in the Miller Valley area see or hear anything that afternoon that could help investigators?
