Shortly before 2 a.m. on January 1, 2024, police in Maywood, Illinois, responded to the 1500 block of St. Charles after reports of multiple people shot. Officers found 19-year-old Allonzo Mallett of Terre Haute, Indiana, and 28-year-old Tyrone Mallett suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Both men were taken to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood and later died of their injuries. Two other men were wounded in the same incident and sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

Chicago resident James Dixon, 28, was taken into custody and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting; he was scheduled to appear for a detention hearing at the Maybrook Courthouse. Family members said Allonzo was a loving father; his mother, Everlena Huddleston, established a GoFundMe to help cover funeral expenses. Anyone with information is asked to contact Maywood Police Investigations Sergeant Pezdek at 708-368-4131 or the Maywood Police Department Anonymous Tip Line at 708-450-1787.
