According to Assistant U.S. Attorneys Meghan A. Tokash and Michael P. Felicetta, who are handling the prosecution of this case, Allen was a member of the Bailey Boys Gang, a violent criminal gang which operates in an area of the City of Buffalo bounded by Winspear Avenue, the Kensington Expressway, Eggert Road and Main Street.
• On July 9, 2011, the defendant traveled to Genesee and Guilford Streets, territory controlled by rival LRGP Gang members. Allen fired into a group of individuals who he believed were LRGP members. Three men were struck, two survived. The third individual was paralyzed and died seven months later.
• On November 9, 2011, Allen, and other members of the Bailey Boys Gang robbed several people at a house party on Rounds Avenue in Buffalo. During the course of these robberies, the defendant shot and wounded an unarmed man who was lying on the ground.
As a result of the ongoing investigation into the Bailey Boys Gang, members now stand accused of four murders, 14 attempted murders, including four drive-by shootings. The attempted murders include a shooting that occurred during a neighborhood party with numerous children present and a shooting that occurred during a robbery. A total of 12 were arrested and to date, eight defendants have been convicted. The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
