Stolen Lives 🕊️

Her Story

Isis Allen was just six years old when her young life was tragically stolen following a shooting on July 17, 2016, in Pittsburgh's Knoxville neighborhood. On the evening Isis was walking along Zara Street with an adult when gunfire erupted near a home where several people had gathered. A bullet struck Isis in the head, leaving her critically injured. For several days, Isis fought for her life but sadly on July 20, 2016, she passed away, just two months after celebrating her sixth birthday.

Her death devastated her loved ones and touched people throughout Pittsburgh. Family members, friends, neighbors, and community leaders gathered to remember her and speak out against the violence that had taken her life. Isis's grandmother, described her as a beautiful spirit while her mother, spoke publicly about the extraordinary love her daughter had brought into her life.

Isis was simply a little girl walking down the street. Her life was stolen because of violence that had nothing to do with her.
