Tikiya Allen was 18 and a nursing student when she was killed on July 21, 2021, in Detroit. She was riding a bicycle near Pingree and Linwood on the city’s west side at about 4:30 p.m. when gunfire erupted; she was struck after being caught in crossfire and is believed to have been an innocent bystander.

Witnesses reported the shots came from a red Ford Taurus with a distinctive paint job and flashy rims, carrying three to four men. A 20-year-old man sitting in a nearby vehicle was also critically injured. The suspects fled in the red Taurus and the shooter or shooters remain unidentified.

No arrests have been announced. Allen’s family has held vigils, made public appeals, and helped establish a book scholarship in her name at Oakland University. Does anyone who was near Pingree and Linwood that afternoon have information that could help the investigation?
