Isaiah Allen was a 29-year-old Black father of two from Milwaukee. His family said he struggled with mental health issues and that he was preparing to move to Louisville for support; his father had brought him clothes for the trip the night before. On the morning of August 16, 2023, Allen entered a Clark gas station at Teutonia Avenue and Roosevelt Drive, took a box of Little Debbie snack cakes and left without paying. A security guard, William Pinkin, ran after him and, from about an arm’s length away, shot Allen in the back of the head. Allen was pronounced dead at the scene.

Surveillance video showed Pinkin pick up the box of snacks, return inside the store and later smoke a cigarette outside. He surrendered to authorities two days later and was charged with first-degree intentional homicide and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; prosecutors noted a 1990 conviction for first-degree reckless homicide and that Pinkin had been released from prison five months earlier and was prohibited from owning a gun. The shooting prompted protests and calls for the gas station’s closure; the Milwaukee Common Council later revoked the business license and the city adopted an ordinance requiring private security guards to be licensed, bonded, insured and to pass a background check.

Does anyone have information about Isaiah’s last movements near Teutonia and Roosevelt on the morning of August 16, 2023?
