It’s been exactly 125 days since a Pennsylvania State Police officer shot and killed 18-year-old Anthony Allegrini Jr.
On Saturday, his parents, Jennifer and Anthony Allegrini, along with friends, family, and community members, marched to the Pennsylvania State Police building on Belmont Avenue and demanded justice. They chanted the name of the officer who they believe shot Allegrini Jr.
“We want police officers to hold other police officers accountable for crimes that they commit,” Jennifer Allegrini said. “That shouldn’t be that hard, it’s their job.”
