District Attorney W. Dewayne Richardson announced this week that Quamane Allen, aka OhGee 2Treys, was found Guilty on May 8, 2025, by a jury in Washington County Circuit Court for two (2) counts of Second Degree Murder and one (1) count of Attempted Murder.
The trial stemmed from the 2021 slayings of Cameron Washington and Keynan Thomas, and the shooting of Dewayne Jackson. According to trial testimony, Quamane Allen caught a ride to an apartment complex in Carver Circle during the early afternoon of October 21, 2021. Once Allen arrived, he opened fire on a group of young men outside the apartment complex with a .300 Blackout AR-style rifle. Court documents showed that the victims had appeared in a YouTube music video with Allen just ten (10) days prior to the shooting, filmed at the same Carver Circle apartment complex. One witness testified that the rifle Allen is seen displaying in the music video closely resembled the one that was used in the shooting.
The case was tried before Circuit Judge Richard Smith in the Washington County Courthouse over the course of three (3) days. Once the jury returned guilty verdicts on Allen for the Second Degree Murder(s) and Attempted Murder, prosecutors for the State went back before the jury to ask them to consider sentencing Allen to life in prison for his crimes. Despite hearing testimony from the victims’ families and argument from the State’s attorneys that Allen’s crimes warranted a sentence of life in prison, the jury declined to sentence Allen.
Sentencing for Allen’s convictions will now be determined by Circuit Judge Richard Smith, with a sentencing hearing to be held in the coming months.
The case against Allen was tried by Assistant District Attorneys M. Austin Frye and Kaylon A. McCou, who expressed their appreciation for the Greenville Police Department in their diligence and thoroughness investigating Allen’s case. Frye stated: “GPD continues to do everything possible to combat the tragic and unnecessary violence plaguing our community by taking the necessary steps to investigate, capture and convict the most violent criminals in Greenville . . . [g]ood police work leads to solid cases that allow prosecutors to secure convictions and appropriate sentences for those criminals who choose to attack our community and our citizens with gun violence- every successful prosecution of these individuals, like Quamane Allen, is a win for Greenville.”
