Victim identified in fatal Parkville shooting
The shooting came in a Parkville apartment complex in the middle of the afternoon on Sunday, and after the shots rang out, the gunman didn’t appear to be in a hurry to make his getaway.
In the initial stages of the investigation, police said they didn’t feel there was anything random about the shooting.
Police have now identified the victim as 27-year-old Shakeia Allen, and court records suggest that in recent months, police had been to her former home on Bayberry Road for multiple domestic disturbances.
In late February, police responded to a report that her ex-boyfriend had assaulted her while she was trying to move her things out of the home.
When they arrested him the next day, he surrendered a handgun that he had holstered inside his waistband.
While police still haven’t named a suspect in her murder, just last week, a hearing for a protective order involving both parties was dismissed when they failed to appear in court.
She says she got a restraining order.
The news says she didn’t.
Either way, the threat of violating a restraining order wasn’t enough to stop (presumably) her ex from murdering her.
I am not victim blaming.
She did what she was told to do by society.
A court order and a piece of paper, however, is meaningless to someone intent on causing harm.
You are your first and last line of protection.
This is why shall issue is important and Constitutional Carry is ideal.
When someone threatens you enough to make you get a court order against them, you need to be prepared for the chance that they will ignore it.
