The restaurant where Allie Rice worked is helping collect reward money for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who gunned the LSU student down last Friday. One of the owners of The Shed, Chez Ciccone said the reward is up to $30,000 and he thinks it will make a difference.
“I believe the reward money will help bring someone forward to turn on whoever did this because people know,” said Ciccone.
Allie Rice worked at The Shed alongside two of her brothers. Ciccone said the restaurant pitched in $10,000 dollars initially and other businesses have also donated to the reward. He said they hope to have $50,000 by Friday, which would be one week after the LSU senior was killed in her car on Government St. in Baton Rouge.

“And we’re expecting this to climb substantially for an arrest and conviction of the people or person that did this,” said Ciccone.
Ciccone said there’s been an overwhelming outpour of condolences and offers to help in any way they can since Allie was killed. He urges the community to work together to help end the uptick in crime in Baton Rouge.
“This is going to be a village effort, we want these people found, we want to get these murderers off the street,” said Ciccone.
