How they died
Deadly force
A local officer shot at Allen 41 times, reloading twice, during and after a 30-minute early-morning car pursuit. Three of those bullets fatally struck the unarmed Allen in the back. The aftermath included a dramatic change in the police narrative after the release of a video, and the deliberate destruction of evidence. One of the rare cases where an officer was indicted for a line-of-duty killing.
