On the evening of September 28, 2019, 21-year-old Enzo Santiago Herrera Garcia was walking with his girlfriend near 8th Street and Hennepin Avenue in downtown Minneapolis when a verbal altercation with occupants of a passing silver vehicle escalated into deadly violence. Allen allegedly pistol-whipped him, dropped and retrieved a handgun, then fired a single shot that struck Herrera Garcia in the chest. He was taken to a nearby hospital and later died of his wounds.

A witness recorded the fleeing vehicle’s license plate, which led police to a South Minneapolis residence. Allen was apprehended the following day and initially denied involvement before later admitting to a role in the altercation. Both Allen and Walker were charged with second-degree murder. The family had moved to Minnesota from Mexico when Herrera Garcia was a child.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation that night or has information about what happened near 8th and Hennepin on September 28, 2019, please share what is known.
