On the evening of April 5, 2017, 22-year-old Andrew Allen-Lake, a male, was fatally shot in Highland Park, a city within the Detroit metropolitan area. The incident occurred at approximately 10:30 p.m. in the 1400 block of East 7 Mile Road.
Earlier in the evening, an individual had picked up Allen-Lake and driven to the Pharty Hard Barbershop located at 1425 E. 7 Mile Road. The driver parked the vehicle near Hanna Street and went inside the barbershop, leaving Allen-Lake alone in the car. While he was waiting, a light-colored sedan approached, and two unidentified men emerged from it. They opened fire on the vehicle, shooting Allen-Lake multiple times before fleeing the scene.
Law enforcement has not publicly identified any suspects in the shooting, and no arrests have been announced in connection with the murder. The case remains an open investigation. A cash reward of up to $2,500 has been offered by Crime Stoppers of Michigan for any information that leads to the arrest of the individuals responsible for Andrew Allen-Lake's death.
