Donnie Allen allegedly murdered Benjamin McComas days after The Bail Project posted his bail despite his family's warnings that he would reoffend.

Court records reviewed by Fox News Digital show Allen was charged with drug possession, breaking and entering, vandalism, obstructing official business and possessing criminal tools in relation to a separate incident at a Cleveland light rail station on Dec. 4.
While his bond was initially set at $15,000, Judge Joy Kennedy lowered it to $5,000 on Dec. 8. The Bail Project, a nonprofit, then provided $500 for Allen to be bonded out of the Cuyahoga County Jail. Just five days later, Allen was arrested for the alleged murder of McComas.
