MUNCIE, Ind. After an Indiana State Police investigation, Delaware County Prosecutor Eric Hoffman found the officer-involved shooting that killed 28-year-old Jonathan Levi Allen was legally justified.
The shooting happened March 3. Officers from the Muncie Police Department responded to a shots fired call around 1 p.m. When they arrived, they found Allen and a passenger inside a red Chevy Blazer with a license plate that was registered to a different car.
Allen told police there were guns inside the vehicle, but he refused to show his hands after officers ordered him to do so multiple times. Allen threatened to kill himself, then sped away, and officers chased him. That chase was called off after Allen got near a school and started weaving in and out of the buses at a high rate of speed.
Prosecutor highlights National Crime Victims Rights Week
Eric Hoffman
In commemoration of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW), April 18–24, 2021, the Delaware County Prosecutor’s Office wants to raise awareness about crime victims’ issues and rights and introduce the community to the important resources and services available. The faces of crime victims are those of our family, friends, neighbors, and community members. According to the most recent National Crime Victimization Survey from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1.2 million people were victims of violent crime excluding simple assault in 2019, a significant decrease from the year before. Now is the time to redouble our efforts so that victimization continues to decline.
