Murder started as fight that didn't involve either guy
Allen was ordered held without bail at his arraignment today on charges of murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, and unlawfully carrying a loaded firearm at Roxbury District Court, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.
In a statement, the DA's office says both men were in apartments at 20 Homestead St. when a fight broke out inside a hallway around 4:30 p.m. "Neither Williams nor Allen was involved in that altercation."
The fight spilled into the street and Allen, Williams and a third man got caught up, the DA's office says. Williams pulled a knife, but Allen pulled out a gun and fatally shot Williams in the stomach, according to the statement.
This family back in FL is
This family back in FL is heart broken, to see one of theirs involved in such a horrific murder. Remember this was a young man, who could have helped anyone of you all, yet you scoff at the situation at hand. This is a young man who had family, and loved ones, now they are burying him at this very minute. No matter what transpired, he was still human; and a child of God.
He took away the best friend
He took away the best friend I ever had! He didn't deserve to die like that!
