Paris Kaden Allen was 19 when he was fatally shot on August 2, 2023, on the 2500 block of West Second Street in Duluth’s Lincoln Park neighborhood in what authorities described as a drive-by shooting tied to an ongoing feud. An 18-year-old was also wounded in the same attack. Two men, Brandon Williams-Gillard, 25, and Sanussi Tamsir Bangoura, 22, were charged in connection with the incident; Williams-Gillard later pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting second-degree murder, aiding and abetting second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon, and drive-by shooting and received a 40-year prison sentence.

Allen was born April 28, 2004, in Federal Way, Washington, and had graduated high school in Tracy, California, in 2022. He planned to study to become an underwater welder and was remembered for his infectious smile and love of longboarding, travel, and time with family and friends. His family donated his organs through LifeSource, and a Celebration of Life was held August 20, 2023, at the Caddy Shack in Duluth.

If anyone knew Paris or has information relevant to the case, please come forward.
