Stanley Allen, 40 and a father of nine, was shot to death on the evening of September 2, 2019, on Robinwood Street near Van Dyke in Detroit. He had been talking with a friend when a pickup truck pulled up; Allen approached and spoke with the driver, who then shot him multiple times. The shooter abandoned the pickup at the scene and ran off on foot into the neighborhood.

Detroit police recovered shell casings and other evidence at the scene, but no arrests have been announced and no suspect has been publicly identified. Allen’s family — including his father, Stanley Allen Sr., who raised him in the same neighborhood, and Michelle Jones, the mother of four of his children — have been left searching for answers. Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for information that leads to an arrest. The motive for the killing remains unclear.

If anyone has information about the pickup, the shooting, or the person who fled that night, please share what you know with Detroit police or Crime Stoppers.
