Pastor Arrested for Shooting & Killing Man During Church Service Over Alleged Affair with His Wife
Pastor Arrested for Shooting & Killing Man During Church Service Over Alleged Affair with His Wife
A Detroit pastor could face serious charges for killing a member in his congregation.
According to Fox 2 Detroit, 25-year-old Deante Smith went to the The City of God church on Grand Avenue Sunday (Oct 18) to confront his pastor, 36-year-old Keon Allison over an alleged affair between the preacher and Deante’s wife.
During the heated argument, Smith attacked Pastor Allison with a brick. In what appears to self defense, Pastor Allison shot Smith four times with a semiautomatic pistol. He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The whole thing went down in front of a church congregation just 15 minutes after a 1:30 p.m. service had started. Officials confirmed that the pastor and Smith knew each other personally and had “some type of problem before.”
Pastor Allison was taken into police custody for questioning and was released later that night.
Friends close to Smith say the incident that took place doesn’t represent the true character of Smith, who was a standout on the Michigan Lightning semi-pro football team and all-round good person.
“That’s not like my friend, not like the Deante I [saw]. He never acted like that around me. He was always a good person, smiling, asking me to come back to church,” Smith’s friend Jamie Warfield said.
Smith’s cousin Detrese Abbot said their family is devastated over the situation.
“It’s unbelievable,” Abbot told the Detroit Free Press. “They’re painting him to be a monster, but he wasn’t. They knew each other very well. This is not just a strange man that walked in looking to harm someone. … We’re just trying to figure this whole thing out.”
Abbot said Smith was a member of the church for the past four years and the pastor was a “mentor” and “father figure” to him.
“The pastor took him under his wing,” she said. “He was someone my cousin looked up to as a father figure. … So much happened that led up to this. I just don’t understand none of this. …They had a relationship and bond that couldn’t be broken. For this to end like this and for them to paint him as a crazy and deranged person, he didn’t want this to come to this.”
Smith reportedly vented about his personal life on Facebook a month prior to the shooting. He wrote on September 15th that he was “Divorced and Happy.”
However, Abbot said her cousin and his wife weren’t actually divorced, and they were trying to work on their marriage and were in the midst of reconciling before he was killed.
Abbot said Smith began to change after he started suspecting that his wife was having an affair with Pastor Allison.
After Smith’s Sept. 15th Facebook post, he shared another one the next day saying that he would be at the church Sunday armed “WITH THE TRUTH.”
“He had been saying it for a couple days now, that the truth is going to come out,” Abbott said.
Smith also had accused the pastor of the being the father of his wife’s baby. “It’s crazy because everyone was living a normal life, like they didn’t know what was going on between his wife and pastor,” Abbot said. “It really hurt him.”
A spokesperson for the Detroit Police says their investigators are still working hard on this case to figure out what happened.
Once their investigation is complete, a report will be sent to the prosecutor’s office to determine whether charges will be filed, and if this shooting was justified or not.

Emerging artist Goladen Chyld is set to go global with his new album, War Cry.
The new star spreads peace, love, and unity with informative lyrics, crafty rhymes, summoning productions, and vibrant song structure. The debut album encapsulates the illustrious history of Chicago Hip-Hop, which is drenched in the windy city’s historic activism and unity.
The album, its anthems, message, and authenticity are the perfect starting points for newfound fans of the rising star. Tracks like “Righteous Stepper,” “Savior,” and “Gifted” showcase the artist’s progressive music that advocates for equality. War Cry peaked at #3 on Apple Music and cemented Goalden Chyld’s movement.
“I don’t believe you can listen to this album and not feel some sense of purpose and duty to your community,” he told The Final Call.
He added: “I haven’t received a single negative review. The response has been overwhelmingly positive across all age groups. I’ve received messages from nonprofits showing children engaging with the music, which shows its impact. It’s amazing to see a project resonate so deeply across different segments of our community, reinforcing the need for unity and positive change.”
Chyld, real name Qadir Hakim, was raised by a single mother on the rough side of Chicago. His musical abilities transcend barriers for a wider audience with the storytelling of struggles and progress. His resume is filled with endorsements from big names in hip-hop, ranging from Shaquille O’Neal to Lil Baby to Funk Flex.
War Cry quickly gained popularity on streaming platforms and social media, becoming a highly discussed new artist of 2024. The album arrives at the perfect time, especially considering the current social climate.
Goalden Chyld supports the new album with a series of album release events, including an upcoming unity concert in Chicago on May 25 and a five-borough community tour event at SOBs in New York City on May 30.

It’s amazing to see how much progress has been made, not only in the world of music but also in terms of tolerance and acceptance of different genres worldwide. Reflecting on their childhood, many can relate to not being allowed to listen to certain types of music, let alone pursue a career in it.
Growing up in a Greek household, there were limitations, and pursuing a career in music seemed like a distant dream. In many families, the expectation was to follow a more conventional path, such as becoming a teacher or a doctor. Back then, familial support for artistic endeavors was rare. However, as we step into 2024, things have significantly changed.
Parents are now not only supportive but encouraging of their children pursuing their creative dreams. There’s a newfound appreciation for the creative arts, and families play a crucial role in nurturing and supporting their children’s aspirations. This shift marks a significant change in societal attitudes towards creativity and the arts.

The 12-track project, heavily influenced by New York drill with elements from the Vermont music scene, offers a smooth listening experience. The album not only showcases Faxohzrd’s confidence but also his passion for music.
As someone once told us, there’s a difference between artists who create to connect with their audience and those who create solely for profit. Faxohzrd aims to move his crowd and make them experience his music fully.
For example, in “Kobe Bryant,” he displays his pen game and wordplay, cleverly referencing the late Kobe Bryant’s jersey number, 24. Faxohxzrd takes his shot and never misses.
“Lobotomy” is a straight pen track where he exhibits some of his best bars, blending boom-bap and drill beats, giving off takeover vibes as he talks about eliminating his competition as if performing a lobotomy.
“On Me” is a track dedicated to the ladies. Faxohxzrd acknowledges the women in his life, recognizing how they have always supported him and declaring his affection for his dream woman. The song gave me a taste of Mac Miller while listening to it.
Although these were our favorites from the project, without giving too much away, you need to check out the entire project for yourself.
