I believe that the young man on the left is named Kawaan, is the same young man who is in the next picture, and who appears to share a MySpace page with the suspect. Relationship unknown, but I now suspect that Kawaan is Allman’s son.
Relationship of young woman to Allman and Kawaan unknown, but Kawaan claims to be single. I now suspect that Kawaan and the young woman are Allman’s children. According to union rep Mike Ambrosio, who is one of the at least nine people Shareef Allman “allegedly” shot at the limestone quarry where they both worked (plus a women Allman unsuccessfully tried to carjack and shot), Allman was the most dangerous, reckless employee the quarry had ever had. He was so dangerous, that Ambrosio had told him less than a week before Allman’s crime that he would no longer represent him in conflicts with the company, and company managers had finally told other workers to document Allman’s screw-ups. That means that the company considered Allman such a danger that by then it was willing to brave the expense of the inevitable shake-down, civil rights lawsuit by Allman.
Allman’s fellow workers were constantly complaining about the dangerous situations he caused with his reckless driving, even to the point of turning over a truck, and getting its bed caught in electrical wires. But instead of cleaning up his act, Allman reportedly accused everyone else of “racism,” and decided to kill as many of them as he could. The craziest thing of all is that if Allman had been white, he would have been fired long ago. He was clearly carried so long, because of the color of his skin.
Allman was beloved by local blacks, but appears to have lived a double life: Taking from whites, whom he hated, and giving of himself to other blacks, to whom he was devoted.
This was yet another racist massacre.
Over 30 hours after his wave of violence, Shareef (Frank) Allman still has not been caught, despite a massive dragnet, led by SWAT teams. One possibility is that he shot himself, and is lying somewhere unseen. Another possibility, raised by my legman, David in TN, and another reader independent of one another this morning, is that someone is helping Allman to evade police.
The latter possibility must be seriously considered. When Maurice Clemmons ambushed and murdered four white cops in Lakeview, Washington, two years ago, a network of black friends and relatives helped him elude capture, and Clemmons was far from unique (see also the case of James Paroline’s murderer, Keith David Brown. There is no black criminal so evil that he cannot count on felonious support from “the community.”
Some news site commenters asked yesterday why police weren’t tracing Allman via his cell phone. Yesterday afternoon police pleaded for anyone who had Allman’s cellphone number to contact them. But police had already spoken with Allman’s daughter. Had she refused to give the number to them? Had she lied, and claimed not to know it?
Look for Allman’s family and friends to conjure up every manner of imaginary racist insult, to try and defend the indefensible, as occurred with racist black mass murderers Omar Thornton and Charles Thornton. (I do not know if the Thorntons were related.)

As a massive manhunt for suspected gunman, Shareef Allman continues, Rev. Oscar... ( Dai Sugano )
Shareef Allman arrived for his 4 a.m. shift Wednesday at the quarry a few minutes late, said good morning to the guys, and like he always did, poured himself a cup of coffee and punched the time clock. But this time, after listening to the small talk of a morning meeting, he pulled a handgun out of his sweatshirt and began firing at the dozen men, said one of his targets.
Mike Ambrosio felt the burning heat of a bullet shoot through his right arm as he dove under a plastic table. When the bullets were gone and the room was already splattered with blood and bodies, Ambrosio said he played dead and peeked out as Allman grabbed an AK-47 assault rifle he had left just outside the door, and started firing again.
"He thought everybody was after him," Ambrosio said in an exclusive interview Wednesday afternoon with the Mercury News. "He wasn't thinking no more."
Ambrosio, a union leader and truck driver who has worked for 16 years at Lehigh Hanson's Permanente Cement Plant in Cupertino, recounted the five- to eight-minute predawn rampage that left three of his co-workers dead, including a cousin whom he had helped get the job, and five injured.
"You guys want to (expletive) with me? You want to (expletive) with me?" Ambrosio recalled Allman angrily saying as he shot his co-workers.
"Everyone was jumping under the table. Some sitting at the table were shot in the stomach," Ambrosio recalled.
For a moment, Ambrosio thought maybe he should wrestle the shooter. "He's way stronger than I am. No one had a chance."
Allman, a 6-foot-1, 47-year-old boxer and weightlifter, a man who preached peaceful conflict resolution in a series of public access TV shows he produced, fired away in the confines of the quarry's trailer, Ambrosio said.
Lying under the table, Ambrosio covered his face with his bleeding arm and pretended he was dead. When the gunfire stopped, Allman stooped to look under the table "to make sure I was dead," Ambrosio said.
"I had blood coming out of my arm. He probably thought it was my head," said Ambrosio, who was treated at a hospital and sent home Wednesday afternoon with a sling around his arm.
Allman had worked at the plant for 15 years. While he was respected by his wide circle of friends in San Jose's African-American community, he had a poor performance record at the company, Ambrosio said. Allman felt as though the company, and some of his co-workers, were out to get him, Ambrosio said. Two weeks earlier, Allman had refused to pose for a photo with his colleagues at the plant, saying, "I don't want to take my picture with back stabbers."
Before the shooting began Wednesday, a supervisor was leading the weekly meeting, which included a discussion about rescheduling a farewell party for another employee. Allman piped up, Ambrosio said: "If we ain't gonna have no party, give me my $10 back." Then Allman "pulled out the gun and started."
The supervisor, who was standing, was the first to go down after being shot three times, Ambrosio said. The Mercury News is not naming the supervisor because a reporter could not reach him or his family. He was sent to Stanford University Hospital where he remained late Wednesday. An additional eight men sitting in plastic chairs around the tables -- all truck drivers -- were hit as they tried to scramble to safety, including Ambrosio and his cousin Manuel Pinon.
"Why are you doing this?" some of the men asked as they tried to duck the bullets.
Ambrosio, 45, said he knew the answer as he lay bleeding under the table. If Allman wanted any of his co-workers dead, it might have been him.
The rampage came less than a week after Ambrosio confronted Allman, telling him that as his union shop steward, he would no longer represent him to management over the numerous safety violations he was accused of committing.
"He's had so many accidents and always said that because he's African-American, the company was after him," Ambrosio said. "He was an unsafe driver." Ambrosio said Allman had turned over a truck and snagged overhead wires when he left the truck bed in the air.
Last Thursday, Ambrosio told Allman that "no one has ever had so many accidents in the company like you have."
Ambrosio set up a meeting Monday morning with management, telling officials that Allman's safety record was so bad, his driving so reckless, that "the workers weren't safe."
Company officials, Ambrosio said, responded by encouraging his fellow drivers to document any further problems.
"The workers were tired of complaining and the company not doing anything," Ambrosio said.
A voice message left with a company spokesman was not immediately returned Wednesday.
Somebody must have told Allman about the meeting, Ambrosio said, because on Tuesday morning, Allman seemed to be an exemplary employee. [For one lousy day!]
"He was working like he should be," Ambrosio said. "He was on the ball."
So when he came in Wednesday morning, no one paid much attention.
Until the gun came out.

Another case of a strong black man being held down and discriminated against in the work place. A weaker man would have snapped much sooner than he did. He was a good man, loved by his black brothers and sisters. He had a big smile and big heart. Damn crackers broke the man.
To a sentient reader, I shouldn't have to point out that what I wrote earlier was sarcasm dialed up to the highest setting.
But I now see there actually are examples of his black brethren saying this. I'm speechless, no I'm without words. These black people can not be from this planet.
And that is why we cannot live together in the same nation.
I have been collecting examples of black “communication” to whites over the years. For one thing, there is a form of black “taqqiya,” wherein most blacks routinely lie to whites about … everything, no matter how petty or obvious. But they lie almost as badly to each other. At the heart of this is black race mania, the characteristically black form of racial paranoia, which is less a psychiatric than a moral failure.
And increasing numbers of whites play their own version of racial taqqiya.
