On the evening of April 11, 2016, 20-year-old Thurston Yavari Allen, a Black man from Daleville, was found with two gunshot wounds at the Boulevard Apartments in Enterprise, Alabama. Officers responding to a 911 call rushed him to a local hospital, where he died hours later.

Witnesses said a young Black man in his early twenties ran from the scene in a light-colored compact car. The Enterprise Police Department identified and arrested Thomanta Jones in connection with the homicide. At a bond hearing, a judge reduced Jones’s bond from $350,000 to $75,000, a decision that Allen’s parents, Carlisha and Thurston Allen, publicly criticized as they described Jones as a menace and expressed fear he might be released. The assistant district attorney said the investigation remained ongoing and not all evidence had been shown to the judge.

What can readers who knew Thurston or who have information about the April 11, 2016 shooting in Enterprise contribute to the case?
