Zarrie Allen was a first-year student at Sacramento State University who wanted to help people by becoming a nurse. The 18-year-old Richmond, California native was ran track last year for the Oakland Police Activities League (PAL). She was also involved in her church.

Zarrie was shot dead on Monday, July 20, 2020 in a graveyard in what local police describe as a drive-by shooting. They do not believe that Zarrie was the intended target and that she perhaps was hit by a stray bullet.

But family and friends just want to know what really happened.

Breonna Williams, identified as the victim’s cousin, said that things are not adding up as far as she is concerned.

“It shocks me that someone is bold enough to come to a memorial and have a drive-by shooting," Williams told TV station News 10. "I think these people, or whoever they may be, definitely knew who they were coming for and didn’t care who was around.”

“That means that someone she was hanging out with, or whoever these people were, they clearly had a motive, and unfortunately, my cousin was an innocent bystander and ended up being the only one there who got shot. So, it’s not adding up to us,” Williams said.

Sacramento PD are asking anyone with information about this murder to contact them.
