How they died
Deadly force
Allen's struggles with mental health had been well documented with the police. This day he'd evidently been evicted, and may have threatened a female employee of an apartment complex. Responding police found him brandishing a knife in the middle of route 301, ignoring police commands and talking about going to heaven. He was pepper-sprayed, shot with pepper balls, then fatally shot in a way that shocked witnesses.
