Disha Allen, a 25-year-old woman from Humble, Texas, was tragically shot and killed on December 12, 2021, in Baytown, Texas. She was attending a vigil for her daughter's godfather, Jamal Narcisse, who had been murdered earlier that month. The vigil was held in the 1400 block of North Market Loop, where a gunman opened fire on the crowd, killing Allen and injuring 13 others.
The motive for the drive-by shooting remains unknown.
Allen was a single mother to a 4-year-old daughter, and her family described her as an amazing and loving mother. Her death has left a significant void in the lives of those who knew her, and her family has been vocal in their plea for justice. The Baytown Police Department and Harris County Sheriff's Office have been investigating the case, but as of now, no arrests have been made.
The investigation has faced several challenges, including the lack of a clear suspect description. Witnesses reported that the gunman was driving a small, dark-colored sedan, possibly a black Honda Civic, but the vehicle used in the shooting was later found burned and abandoned. Despite the increased reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect, the case remains unsolved.
The community continues to mourn the loss of Disha Allen and hopes for justice for her and her daughter. The family has set up a GoFundMe account to help cover funeral expenses and has urged anyone with information to come forward. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are committed to bringing those responsible to justice.
