Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
John Coleman, a 34-year-old Black / African American male from Northeast Washington, D.C., began May 1, 2023 as a familiar presence in his community, remembered by relatives and neighbors as fun-loving and always ready to help with landscaping, painting, and other home projects around their homes. He had built a quiet reputation as a dependable worker who kept lawns trimmed for many in the neighborhood, and his family was looking ahead to the birthday he was due to celebrate later that month.
