Marcello Allen

Early Tuesday morning, Marcello Allen was the victim of a "carjacking."  He would not get out of the truck so the two "men" began shooting. Marcello was hit nine times, which went through both lungs, his arm and shoulder, and one bullet lodged in his spine which fractured two of his vertebrae. It is only by the grace of God he survived. Our prayers succeed. We thank all of you for your support. A special thank you to a Good Samaritan who stopped to help him before the ambulance arrived. Marcello is still in ICU and is expected to make a near full recovery, though it will be lengthy. The story was on the TV news, Newspaper, and The Leader, but many of the details are misleading or downright false. I don't want to give out too much, as it is an ongoing investigation, however, the news is not putting out that there were no weapons or drugs in his vehicle. There were no drugs or alcohol in his system. We set up a gofundme account to help with hospital bills, etc.
