Brandi Michelle Allen, 39, was found shot inside a vehicle at a residence in the 8500 block of Old Bagley Road in Bagley, a Birmingham suburb, on the morning of January 9, 2019. Deputies responded after a report just before 8 a.m. of a man with a gun running along Old Bagley Road and a separate call that a woman had been found shot at the residence.

Shortly after deputies processed the scene, 43-year-old Mark David Allen, described as Brandi’s estranged husband, called 911, admitted to shooting her, gave his location in the 5000 block of Cindy Lane, and disconnected. Deputies located him deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office concluded the deaths were a murder-suicide. Brandi is remembered by those who knew her as happy, funny, outgoing, and very loving.

If anyone has information about Brandi, her movements that morning, or the events leading up to January 9, 2019, please come forward.
