Man accused of shooting at 4 people indicted on attempted murder, ethnic intimidation charges

A man accused of shooting at four people in Kennedy Heights has been indicted on several charges. Devonta Allen, 18, was indicted of four counts of attempted murder, four counts of felonious assault and three counts of ethnic intimidation, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said Tuesday. If convicted, he faces the possibility of over 60 years in prison. The indictment stems from an incident on July 25 when Allen allegedly began firing at four people he didn't know on Tyne Avenue. According to Deters, Allen yelled “I don’t like white people in my hood” while firing shots. Allen, who is black, chased and yelled at the victims, three of which are white and one is black, Deters said. “This activity done by white or black people is intolerable," Deters said. "We will seek the toughest penalty for this crime.”No one was injured in the shooting, but two cars were damaged.
