14-year-old shot dead after attending birthday party

Investigators are still trying to piece together how a 14-year-old boy was shot and killed after a birthday party in Camden, New Jersey on Saturday.

"People are hurt. A lot of people need answers. We need to know what happened," said the victim's mother, Shamane Allen.

Surrounded by her other children, she spoke with Action News on Monday about her 14-year-old son Daimeon Allen, who was killed over the weekend.

I feel very sad for his mother and brother.

Kids getting killed seem to be the norm lately, which is terrifying.

[Robbob]

These mothers and fathers need to get out and protest the violent culture in this country. I’m so sorry for your loss of your family member/friend your reading this. RIP Daimeon.

I pray the family gets the justice they highly deserve. RIP kid.

[Mr.Scribbler]

Sure his friends know more about the shooters

[TheGlennweldon]

I'm sure witnesses will be lined up at the police station tomorrow morning ready to give detailed descriptions of the shooter.

I'm so sorry for his family. His poor Mom. I feel her heartbreak

[kevmar]

there's much more to this. he wasn't 'just a good boy', and, definitely blame the culture.

We used to have cake and fruit punch in our birthday parties. I didn’t know shoot outs were an option. I feel so sheltered

[timfrench]

Smh it's really sad he had a whole life ahead of him.. where is all the BLM folks al Sharpton? LeBron James??? This is what I think is fk up .they don't show up for these innocent kids but will show up when a criminal gets shot by law enforcement.. smh they aren't for ppl they are for the camera.. So my thoughts and condolences to this young man's family and friends. Hope justice is served

14 urban kids under 16 this week alone. From Atlanta to Chicago to Philadelphia. Yet will never do anything national about it.

REALLY CAMDEN NJ, 14 YEAR'S OLD, WHY DIDN'T SHE TAKE HIM, THAT'S ANOTHER STATE

[DrValentine]

When I was about that age the same thing happened to a friend of mine here in central California, elks lodge and all except he was walking home

[youdontsay]

There needs to be some type of security or chaperone for these underage kids parties because these kids have access and shoot guns just as much as adults

[phillydee]

Unbelievable these kids are dying in record numbers across America ridiculous .🙏

Camden is trying to regain the title of one of the top ten dangerous cities....
