Allen Wayne Bennett was found murdered in the parking lot of Guy’s Foods, Inc in Tulsa, Oklahoma on January 18th, 1985. His case remains unsolved.

Allen was found shot in the parking lot of Guy’s Foods at 6960 E. 38th St in Tulsa. He’d been shot twice in the stomach with a 9 mm. He was then run over and dragged by a vehicle afterwards. His wallet and ID were missing when he was found.

On February 14th police impounded a 1971 Lincoln Continental that was traded in by a Daniel Joseph Marino on January 18th when he bought a new truck. Police found evidence on the car and the fibers found matched the clothing Allen was wearing at the time of the murder. Daniel Joseph Marino was charged after being at large for months in the murder of Allen Wayne Bennett. However, the judge ruled the prosecution’s evidence was solely circumstantial and insufficient so all charges were dropped. Preliminary testimony in the case indicated that Allen may have been involved in a drug deal gone bad. No one has been charged in the case since then.

If you have any information in the murder of 29-year-old Allen Wayne Bennett please call the Tulsa PD at 918-596-9222. All information is helpful.
