County public safety alert may help residents recognize wanted suspect

Volusia County deputies are searching for a man accused of stalking and assaulting a pregnant woman, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office information reported by FOX 35 Orlando. The suspect, identified as Da-Kwon Allen, 27, is wanted on charges including aggravated stalking, written threats to kill and aggravated battery.

Although the report does not place the incident in Edgewater, it is a current Volusia County public safety alert and may still be important for local readers who travel, work or have family elsewhere in the county. Publishing suspect information can help residents stay alert and potentially assist law enforcement if they recognize someone being sought on serious charges.

What deputies say happened

According to the sheriff’s office account cited by FOX 35, the woman told investigators she woke up in the middle of the night after hearing her dogs barking. She said she found Allen outside her house. When she asked him to leave, deputies say he shoved her.

The sheriff’s office is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to Allen’s arrest. In cases involving alleged stalking and threats, law enforcement agencies often emphasize quick public awareness because suspects may continue trying to contact or approach victims if they remain at large.

Why Edgewater readers may still want to know

At the county stage, the standard for publication is practical relevance, and this item meets that threshold as a fresh law-enforcement notice involving a wanted suspect in Volusia County. Edgewater residents regularly move throughout the county for work, school, shopping and medical appointments, so awareness of active searches can still be useful even when an incident is not tied to the city itself.

It is also a reminder for residents to take stalking complaints seriously and to report suspicious behavior promptly. Repeated unwanted contact, threats and late-night appearances at a home can escalate quickly, and early reporting may help protect victims and build a stronger case for investigators.

How to report information

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office at 386-248-1777, according to the report. Residents should not attempt to confront or detain a wanted person themselves. Instead, they should pass along tips directly to law enforcement.

For Edgewater readers, this is best viewed as a countywide safety bulletin rather than a neighborhood-specific incident. Still, because the case involves serious allegations, an active search and a reward offer, it rises above routine crime coverage and provides timely information that could matter to residents across Volusia County.
