Allen, a student at Sacramento State, was killed Monday night while visiting a gravesite at the Sacramento Memorial Lawn. Detectives believe she could have been caught in the middle of a possible gang-related shooting and was likely an innocent victim.

The school is offering counseling services for students and employees in the wake of Allen’s death.
