A heart-wrenching incident unfolded at the Utah State Fair when professional bull rider, Demetrius Omar Lateef Allen, known as ‘Ouncie Mitchell,’ lost his life in a shocking turn of events, Your Content has learned.
The 27-year-old rider was fatally shot by his on-and-off girlfriend, LaShawn Denise Bagley, 21, following a heated argument.
The fateful day began with Allen and Bagley enjoying their time at the fair together. However, things took a dark turn as they later headed to a bar, where tensions escalated between the couple. Allen expressed his desire to leave and return to Bagley’s residence to gather his belongings.
Tragically, before he could do so, a single gunshot rang out, leaving Allen with fatal injuries outside Bagley’s apartment. Authorities swiftly responded to the scene, arresting Bagley on charges of murder and felony discharge of a firearm.
This devastating incident has left a four-year-old daughter without her father, and the rodeo community mourning the loss of a talented bull rider.
As this tragic story unfolds, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Allen’s family and friends during this difficult time, according to FLIPBOARD.
