In the Lincoln-Lemington neighborhood of Pittsburgh, on the evening of December 16, 2014, a violent incident cut short the life of 32-year-old Charles Coleman, a Black male from the city's Allentown neighborhood. Coleman was at a bar in the 1500 block of Lincoln Avenue when gunfire erupted. He was fatally shot and pronounced dead at the scene.
Another man was also struck by the gunfire during the incident. He was transported to a local hospital for medical treatment.
The shooting left one man dead and another wounded, shaking the local community.
In the wake of the shooting, an investigation was launched. However, as of a year after Charles Coleman's death, his murder remained unsolved. No arrests had been made in connection with the shooting, and information about any potential suspects was not publicly available. The case remains a painful and unresolved chapter for his family, including his mother, Monica Beeman, who had also lost another son to violence years prior.
