He has advertised the rings on Facebook Marketplace, and Allen responded to the listing. She offered to pay him via CashApp, and the transaction was ‘pending’ in the parking lot when they completed the transaction. Sometime later, the transaction was returned and did not complete.

Tatyana Allen is the daughter of current City Council member Wanda Allen and Former City Council member and local pastor David Allen.
