King was with his oldest sister and her best friend, both in their 20s, and the friend’s children, including her 9-month-old son. King just turned 4 last week. “Everything just happened so fast,’’ said King’s sister, 23-year-old Kadeidra Gouch, who was with him. “I’m just overwhelmed at the moment.” Steven "King" Allen Jr., 4, was critically injured in a hit-and-run crash on Oct. 31, 2023, while he was trick-or-treating in Birmingham's Crestwood neighborhood.Birmingham police announced earlier this week that the suspect’s vehicle is a dark colored Audi A3, built between 2009 and 2012, with a damaged rear view passenger mirror.“What I do know is I serve a God that sits high and looks low, and I know my son will make a full recovery, in the name of Jesus,’’ Allen said.
