On October 8, 2017, Cloatee Hubbard, aged 36, was found dead in a field on Blue Ridge Drive in Houston, Texas. She was discovered by an oil company employee who immediately contacted the authorities. Hubbard, also known by her nickname "Lil' Mo," had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene. The investigation into her death was launched by the Houston Police Department's Homicide Division, who sought any information that could lead to the suspects involved.
Initially, the investigation faced challenges, but progress was made when two suspects were eventually arrested in connection with Hubbard's murder. The first suspect, Deshaun St. Julien, was taken into custody in February 2021, while the second suspect, John Coleman, was arrested in May of the same year. Both men were charged with murder, and the case was handled in different state district courts. Authorities indicated that St. Julien and Coleman are brothers, adding a significant layer to the dynamics of the investigation.
The case highlighted the importance of public involvement, with the police encouraging anyone with further information to come forward. Crime Stoppers of Houston also offered a reward for tips that could help solve the case and ensure that all those involved were held accountable. Despite the arrests, the tragic circumstances of Hubbard's death continue to weigh heavily on the community and her family, who are seeking justice and closure for their loved one.
