Darius Allen was 34 when he was killed in Athens, Alabama, on the night of Tuesday, January 30, 2018. Emergency responders found him after his vehicle was involved in a wreck; he had suffered fatal gunshot wounds to his abdomen and right leg. Authorities described the shooting as a targeted, personal attack rather than a random act.

Investigators say the motive centered on a troubled relationship involving Allen’s wife and a man named Antonio Jacobs. Tensions reportedly escalated after Jacobs believed Allen had fired shots into Jacobs’s home on Cannon Road the previous weekend, an incident that was reported to the Sheriff’s Department and is cited as the primary motive. Within days police arrested Antonio Jacobs and, separately, 39-year-old Dewayne Lee Sloan of Athens; both were charged with capital murder. An investigator described the killing as an eye for an eye retaliation, and Jacqueline Allen reportedly told investigators that Jacobs and Sloan had pursued and murdered her husband.

Does anyone have information about Allen’s movements that night or about the earlier reported shooting on Cannon Road?
