Jason C Allred, 25, was shot and killed in the parking lot of a Cook Out restaurant in Norfolk on June 24, 2024. Police were called at about 1:25 a.m.; officers found Allred with a life-threatening gunshot wound and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Another man at the location suffered a graze wound and was treated.

Allred, born August 22, 1998, in Hobbs, New Mexico, had served five years in the Navy and worked as an IT technician. Family described him as caring, humorous, determined, and athletic, with plans to pursue remote work and live in the mountains. According to a stipulation of facts used by prosecutors, the confrontation began when Allred approached a vehicle in the drive-thru lane occupied by Michael D. Parker and Parker’s girlfriend. Parker reportedly exited the vehicle with a gun after an altercation; a hat was knocked off, a shot grazed an employee inside the restaurant, and a second shot struck Allred. Parker and the woman fled but were caught after a brief pursuit; Parker later told jail interviewers he acted in self-defense.
