A wannabe hip-hop artist accused of stabbing to death a beloved family man in front of his wife was out on community bail on serious gun allegations.

Daily Mail Australia can reveal Spencer Shumski, 20, from Sale was charged with gun possession when police alleged he stabbed Clint Allen to death in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Mr Allen, 38, had was celebrating his wife Bek’s 37th birthday when he was reportedly confronted by Shumski outside The Criterion Hotel in Sale, Victoria, about 200km east of Melbourne.

Shumski, dressed in a black suit and white shirt, appeared at Sale Magistrates’ Court on Monday via video link from the holding cells of Morwell Police Station.

He should have appeared in court on Tuesday over the alleged gun violations, which are now expected to be consolidated in his next trial in August.

While the circumstances of those crimes remain unknown, magistrate Julie O’Donnell agreed to immediately revoke his bail.

Shumski’s attorney John Sullivan did not contest the decision and did not file any further bail applications.

“If I could, I would,” he told the magistrate.

The court heard that Shumski had never spent a day behind bars to date and that he had no ailments that could affect him while he was caged awaiting justice.

The circumstances surrounding Mr Allen’s tragic death were not revealed in court.

Daily Mail Australia learned that Shumski was a wannabe musician and photographer, who posted music videos online under the stage name NP Benzey.

Some of Shumski’s lyrics deal with traditional teen angst, such as lost love, drugs, and violence.

“You know I only do drugs. I constantly feel alone. I wish someone would come, let me know. ‘Everything will be fine, be strong’, he sings on his track ‘Love Deep’.

In another song, titled “Memories,” Shumski sings about becoming famous.

‘I have thought about it. What I want to do next. I have thought about it. My face on the big screen. My life as a movie. Make these big moves in the stand with scooby. Lying back with a rack rolling up a dub,” he sang.

In a social media post that sprinkled one of the songs, Shumski’s proud father expressed concern over some of the lyrics.

“Spencer’s Latest Song and V-Clip – Maybe not exactly the lyrics a parent would most like to hear, but honest and passionate… It’s so important to be supportive and try to lead by example as our teens work out who they are.” are and how this world works,” he wrote in 2020.

Mr Allen, his wife Bek and three others were reportedly outside the pub when they were approached by Shumski, who had been a complete stranger to them.

The group made a frantic phone call to police around 1am, when officers arrived to find Mr Allen seriously injured at the York-MacAlister junction.

Despite desperate efforts to resuscitate Mr Allen while he waited for paramedics to arrive, he could not be saved.

Mr. Allen’s devastated family said he just walked home after going out.

His distraught stepdaughter, Makala Lister, who is six weeks pregnant, said the beloved BMX champion and an avid outdoorsman, who loved camping, dirt bikes and 4WDs, would be sorely missed.

“Clint was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather to his unborn granddaughter,” she told the Announce sun.

“He was loved by everyone who met him and was always up for a chat about any subject.”

“He will forever be missed and loved by everyone he came into contact with.”

Other family members lashed out at Mr. Allen’s killer.

“F**k this world they let the cruel get away and they take away the good unfortunately last night one of the best people I know was taken too soon so you will never be forgotten. Wishing the best for Bek Allen and Clint Allen’s family, he should still be here #justiceforclint,” a family member posted on social media.

“You were kidnapped way too soon. Thanks for showing me all the stupid things we used to do as kids,” another friend posted.

“Thanks for showing me how to sneak to the milk bar while we were ‘mowing the lawn.'”
