Two men accused of killing Robert Allen in October of 2017 will not go to trial next week. The trials for Timothy Barnum, 48, and Tyrone Sommers, 50, have been continued until April 5.
The two men have both pleaded not guilty to murder charges in connection with Allen s death.
The case began on Halloween of 2017 when police were called to Allen Plumbing just off of Eisenhower Parkway in Denison at around 10:30 p.m. about shots fired at the location.
Inside the family business, police found Robert Dale Allen, 55, deceased. Information released at that time did not identify Allen. But, he was named as the deceased one day later. Police said they did not have a suspect in the case. As time wore on, a reward was offered for information that led to an arrest and conviction. And, it increased. The reward went from $1,000 to $10,000 with the Grayson County District Attorney s Office and an anonymous donor supplying most of that money.
