A friend described Allen as full of laughter and joy. Loved ones couldn't believe this happened.
On Aug. 29, according to prosecutors, Hubbird went into a gas station off 19th and National.
Surveillance video shows Hubbird and Allen had a brief conversation inside before Hubbird got back into his Chevy Tahoe. Eventually, according to police, Allen hopped into the passenger's seat.
Things took a turn when Hubbird and Allen reached her apartment near 26th and Wells.
A witness told police he saw a black SUV and two people arguing, heard a gunshot and Allen screamed, "I'm shot."
Allen called 911. Police say before Allen died, she told an officer she met the man who shot her at a gas station, and he drove a Chevy Tahoe.
A criminal complaint says security video from the gas station, a witness and police checking the Tahoe's license plate linked Hubbird to the crime.

Allen's friend said she would've celebrated her 36th birthday on Sept. 20.
Hubbird is charged with first-degree reckless homicide, use of a dangerous weapon.
