On the evening of Sunday, July 29, 2018, 19-year-old Jasmir Allen was fatally shot at about 10:50 p.m. at the Liberty Heights apartment complex on Liberty Road in Lexington, Kentucky. Police responding to reports of shots fired found Allen with a severe upper extremity wound; she was taken to University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital and died at 11:36 p.m.

Investigators concluded Allen was not the intended target. The shooting followed an ongoing dispute between another woman and 20-year-old Montash Jackson. Police say Jackson fired several rounds toward the woman she had been arguing with; Allen was struck by that gunfire. Jackson admitted to shooting and was arrested and charged with murder and four counts of wanton endangerment. Her defense described a history of bullying and physical altercations involving a group of women and said Jackson acted in self-defense.

The case went to trial; in October 2019 a jury acquitted Montash Jackson of manslaughter and she was released after nearly 18 months in custody. Does anyone have information about the dispute or witnessed the shooting that night?
