Jamal Augustus Allen

Jamal Augustus Allen was a young man from Suitland, Maryland, whose life—though cut far too short at age 20 on January 11, 2015—touched family and community. Public records and contemporary news reporting identify him as a resident of the Suitland area and place him in the company of loved ones at the time of his death.

While the public record about Jamal’s daily life is limited, it makes clear he was part of a family network and community in Prince George’s County. Local reporting from January 2015 identifies him by name and age and describes the immediate circumstances of his passing; beyond those facts, available sources preserve only fragments of personal detail. Those fragments still point to a real person who had relationships that mattered to others.

For those who knew Jamal, the particulars saved in public records—his name, his place in a local family, and the fact that his life ended far earlier than anyone hoped—are a reminder of a life that mattered to people who survive him. This page honors Jamal by centering the reality that he was a young person with ties and relationships, not only the circumstances of his death. If you are a friend or family member and would like to add memories, photos, or corrections so his full story can be respectfully preserved, those contributions would help make this remembrance more complete.
