‘Walker’ Actor Keegan Allen Robbed & Pistol-Whipped In West Hollywood


Walker and Pretty Little Liars actor Keegan Allen was left bloodied after being robbed at gunpoint and pistol-whipped Thursday in the parking lot of a West Hollywood grocery store. He posted a video of himself after the incident that also included video of the crime.

“Robbed at gunpoint and knifepoint by two young men that threatened to kill me over my watch and would have! God said no tonight,” Allen’s Instagram post is captioned. Watch it below.

Allen was attacked while he was loading groceries into his vehicle at about 9:15 p.m. outside the Laurel Supply store at 8445 Santa Monica Blvd., near Olive Drive. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed “the victim was struck in the face with the handgun. The suspects obtained the victim’s watch and fled the scene in an unknown vehicle.”

Allen’s video shows him breathing hard and with a cut on his where he was struck at least twice, blood running down one his face, neck and shirt. He was treated by EMTs at the scene but not transported to a hospital, officials said. Keegan later went to a hospital himself, fearing that he had a concussion.

West Hollywood city officials issued a statement about the incident. “West Hollywood is a compassionate and engaged community, and news of this violent robbery is deeply upsetting and unsettling,” it reads. “The city wants community members to know that community concerns are heard and taken seriously, and that public safety remains the city’s top priority. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is actively investigating this incident, and additional patrols will be conducted by sheriff’s deputies and the city’s security ambassadors.”

In his video, Allen tagged Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom while expressing hope that Flock cameras mounted around the city would help in tracking down his attackers.

Allen starred alongside Jared Padalecki in The CW’s Walker from 2021-24 and recurred on Freeform’s Pretty Little Liars from 2010-17. He recently wrapped filming the lead role in Small Talk, a drama film set in the late-1970s Los Angeles music scene.
