Tribute to Allantae Powell

My son, Allantae Powell, was gunned down on the Westside of Detroit as he was walking from his pastor’s house to meet with a friend before she left for college. He was shot in his back, for the reason I don’t know at all. He was just eighteen years old and a Senior in high school. He was a very determined kid who played football for Osborn High School. He had a bright future ahead of him. He was very active in his local church where he ministered to many. Allantae had lots going for him, and everything was taken away from him by senseless violence.
