Jimmie Jack Allison, 79, was a longtime Flint resident and Army veteran who enjoyed cooking, gardening, garage sales and time with family. On the night of Friday, August 8, 2014, three men forced their way into his South Meade Street home at about 11:30 p.m. and Allison was shot and killed during what police described as a robbery that turned violent.

Witness statements that night led investigators to quickly identify and locate suspects, and arrests were made the next morning. Three young men — Keanu Brown, Takais Brown, and Marquise Love — were arraigned on charges including felony murder, armed robbery, first-degree home invasion and felony firearm. A fourth man, Aurien Brown, was also charged.

In July 2016 a jury acquitted Keanu Brown, Takais Brown and Marquise Love of murder; Aurien Brown was acquitted of murder but convicted of armed robbery and home invasion. The three who were acquitted had spent almost two years in custody before their release. Does anyone have information about Allison’s last known movements or the night of August 8, 2014?
