An Ohio repeat offender was accused of killing someone just days after a nonprofit paid his bail, which allowed him to be released from jail.
Donnie Allen allegedly shot and killed 27-year-old Benjamin McComas at a Cleveland light rail station around 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14, according to Fox 8. Allen was charged with aggravated murder and arraigned on a $1 million bond.
Court records reviewed by Fox News Digital show Allen was charged with drug possession, breaking and entering, vandalism, obstructing official business and possessing criminal tools in relation to a separate incident at a Cleveland light rail station on Dec. 4.
His bond was initially set at $15,000, which was later lowered by Judge Joy Kennedy to $5,000 on Dec. 8. In that case, court records show that The Bail Project, a nonprofit, provided the money for Allen to be bonded out of jail, and he was released. The Bail Project paid $500 on Dec. 9 for Allen to be released from the Cuyahoga County Jail.
Allen was arrested for the alleged murder of McComas just five days after being released from jail.
The murder suspect is a repeat offender who has previously either pleaded guilty or was convicted of the following crimes:
– 2024: Two counts of attempted burglary, assault on a peace officer, obstructing official business, resisting arrest and drug possession
– 2022: Burglary
– 2021: Burglary
– 2019: Two counts of burglary and one count of criminal damaging
