Danny Marquise Allen, known to friends and family as Bucket, was 13 when he was shot and killed on May 28, 2008, in Fort Worth, Texas. He was a student at Hughes Elementary School and was walking home in the Stop Six neighborhood when a vehicle approached and shots were fired. No suspects were identified at the time.

The killing drew attention to safety concerns in the Stop Six area and the broader problem of gang violence affecting young people. Years later, investigators revisited the case using updated DNA technology, developing new leads that eventually linked a suspect to the crime and allowed authorities to make progress after more than a decade. Allen’s funeral was held at Golden Gate Church of God in Christ in Fort Worth, where community members gathered to mourn.

Does anyone who knew Danny, saw him that day, or has information about the shooting or the vehicle involved, please come forward with what you remember?
