Timothy Allen, Jr., was 34 and from Warren, Ohio, when he was murdered on January 27, 2020. A devoted husband and father of four, Timothy was remembered for coaching his children’s soccer, his athletic and artistic talents, and handyman skills that earned him the nickname Toolman Tim. Family accounts say he cherished moments like dancing with his daughter at the father-daughter dance.

On the morning of his death Timothy drove to the Highland Terrace Apartments to meet people he had been texting. He was ambushed and shot multiple times on arrival. Investigators recovered surveillance video showing a light-colored Astro van quickly leaving the scene; that footage has been released publicly. Detectives say they are close to solving the case but are asking the community for more cooperation. Timothy’s family has urged anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Timothy, saw activity at Highland Terrace Apartments on January 27, 2020, or recognizes the van in the video, please share what you know with investigators.
