In the quiet evening of Saturday, March 21, 2015, a tragedy unfolded that would cut short the life of 19-year-old Antwon Marque Coleman, a Black / African American male from Glen Burnie, Maryland. Just before 9 p.m., the sound of gunfire shattered the peace in the 400 block of Hardmoore Court. When officers from the Anne Arundel County Police Department arrived on the scene, they discovered Coleman lying in the parking lot, suffering from what appeared to be gunshot wounds.
He was rushed to the Baltimore Washington Medical Center, but his injuries proved to be fatal, and he was pronounced dead.
The investigation into the death of Antwon Coleman, which was officially ruled a homicide, began immediately. Detectives canvassed the area, speaking with several witnesses to piece together the events that led to the fatal shooting. The authorities have not determined whether Coleman was the intended target or if he was the victim of a random act of violence. The case has been described as an active and fluid investigation, with law enforcement urging the public to come forward with any information that might lead to a breakthrough.
In the wake of his death, those who knew Antwon Coleman remembered him as a kind-hearted and helpful young man, often lending a hand to his neighbors and known for his cheerful disposition. He reportedly had a girlfriend who resided on the street where the shooting took place. As of now, the case remains unsolved, with no arrests made and no suspects publicly identified. The Anne Arundel County Police Department continues its appeal for information, hoping to bring closure to a case that has left a community in mourning and a family searching for answers.
