In the late hours of a Friday in Savannah, Georgia, the life of 36-year-old Jerald 'Poochie' Allen, a male resident of the city, was cut short by an act of gun violence. On February 5, 2016, officers from the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department were called to the scene of a shooting on Montgomery Street where they found Allen with fatal injuries.
The initial investigation into the incident was launched by the city's homicide detectives. They began the process of piecing together the events that led to the deadly shooting. Despite their efforts, information regarding the circumstances of the shooting and any potential motives remained scarce in the public domain.
In the years that have passed since Jerald Allen's death, there have been no publicly announced arrests or identification of any suspects in connection with the homicide. The case has grown cold, leaving a lingering sense of unresolved justice for Allen's family and community. While law enforcement in Savannah has addressed numerous other violent crimes, the investigation into who was responsible for the death of Jerald 'Poochie' Allen appears to have stalled, with no new leads or information being released to the public. His death remains an open and unsolved chapter in the city's records of violent crime.
