Allen Shackleford, 32, was shot and killed in Detroit on May 17, 2014. He had been socializing with friends Riccardo Martin and Jermayne Fuller at a neighborhood gathering spot shortly before dark when a gray Cadillac pulled up. The driver, later identified as DeQuanta Jovan Hudson, known as Tay, waited in the car; after being recognized he left and then returned.

Witnesses say Hudson approached Shackleford, drew a gun, referenced a prior grievance saying tough shit, and then shot Shackleford in the head. Hudson reportedly told witnesses not to tell police before fleeing on foot. Hudson was arrested, tried in Wayne County Circuit Court, and on October 27, 2014 a jury convicted him of first-degree premeditated murder, felon in possession of a firearm, and using a firearm in the commission of a felony; he was sentenced to life without parole.

Is there anyone who knew Allen or his friends who can add context about that night or the people involved?
