Clarence D. Allen, 42, was found dead inside a residence at 1701 E. 30th Ave in Hutchinson, Kansas, in the early morning of September 22, 2017. An acquaintance discovered him about 6:30 a.m. and called emergency services; officers determined Allen had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators identified 34-year-old Quinton Moore, described as a friend of the victim, as a suspect. Moore was located and taken into custody the same day and booked into the Reno County Jail on suspicion of first-degree murder with bond set at $500,000. Witnesses at trial testified Moore had been intoxicated, was armed with a handgun that night, and that one witness heard several gunshots then saw Moore leave the residence; that witness also said Moore admitted he had emptied his whole clip into Allen. Moore was convicted of first-degree murder for Allen’s death.

If anyone knew Clarence Allen or has information about events at 1701 E. 30th Ave on September 22, 2017, please share what can help clarify the case.
