On January 18, 2021, 32-year-old Terrence Allen was driving with two other men when their car was intercepted outside the Stanton Glen Apartments in the Barry Farm neighborhood of Southeast Washington, D.C. At about 11:10 a.m., a man in a pursuing vehicle fired a sustained barrage of rifle fire—34 shots—into the back of Allen’s car. All three occupants were hit; the two passengers suffered non-life-threatening injuries, while Allen was taken to a hospital and later died of his wounds.

Investigators later concluded Allen was not the intended target; one of the other men in the car had an ongoing dispute with the assailants. Two suspects fled the scene after crashing their vehicle but were later captured; authorities recovered the rifle used in the attack and a cellphone from the crashed car.

Is there anyone with information about Allen, the shooting, or the lead-up to the attack who can help clarify what happened that morning?
