Who killed Nijura Allen?
On a cold winter day in Wichita, Kansas, the life of a two-month-old infant named Nijura Allen was tragically cut short. On February 2, 1985, the baby girl was found unresponsive in her home at 156 N. Poplar. At the time of the incident, she was under the care of her father and grandmother. An subsequent investigation determined that the infant had suffered extensive head trauma, and her death was ruled a homicide.
Despite the ruling of homicide, the case of Nijura Allen's death has remained unsolved for decades. The circumstances surrounding the fatal injuries and who may have been responsible have never been officially determined. There is no publicly available information regarding any arrests being made in connection with her death, nor have any suspects been formally named.
The case is now listed among the cold cases being handled by the Wichita Police Department. Investigators continue to seek information that might lead to a breakthrough in this decades-old tragedy. The death of Nijura Allen remains a somber and unresolved chapter in the city's history, a silent testament to a life that had only just begun.
