On the evening of March 19, 2017, 37-year-old Allen J. Collins was shot and killed in the parking lot of an apartment complex in east Vancouver, Washington. Collins and his friend Jason D. Benton, 42, were helping the girlfriend of a man named Arkangel Howard move her belongings when Howard opened fire, killing both men. The medical examiner confirmed both died of multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators identified 31-year-old Arkangel Howard of Portland as the suspect and apprehended him at his North Portland home ten days later. Howard faced charges including two counts of first-degree murder and unlawful possession of a firearm. A February 2018 jury found him guilty; he was later sentenced to about 63 years and four months in prison. No clear motive for the killings was established, and Collins’ sister said he left behind seven children.

If anyone knew Allen Collins, his movements that evening, or has information about why this happened, please share what you know.
