Raylee Dior Allen was an 11-month-old Black girl who died from a gunshot wound at her home on Carson Road in Birmingham, Alabama, on the evening of July 20, 2021. Birmingham police responded to a domestic disturbance call; Raylee’s mother, a Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputy, was holding the child when officers arrived.

Both parents were taken to the Birmingham Police Department for questioning. Authorities later identified the child’s father, Robert Elijah Allen, as the suspect; Jefferson County court records say he admitted to having a firearm at the scene. He was taken into custody after his bond was revoked on unrelated charges and remained in custody as of July 2021.
