PEORIA, Ill. — Peoria Police have made an arrest in the September shooting death of 28-year-old Donald Allen.
Allen died of a single gunshot wound to the head, near the 1500 block of Faraday on September 26.
Peoria Public Information Officer Amy Dotson said an investigation led to the identification of 17-year-old male suspect.
“Members of the Target Offenders Unit located the 17-year-old suspect in the 1800 block of N. Bigelow. He was taken into custody without incident,” Dotson said.
The teen was taken to the Peoria Police Department for questioning just before 8 p.m. Saturday.
“He was subsequently arrested for First Degree Murder and weapon charges, then transported to the Peoria County Juvenile Detention Center,” Dotson said.
Due to the suspect’s age, his name will not be released.
