In the summer of 2015, the life of 34-year-old Dante L. Suber was tragically cut short in Richmond, Virginia. On the afternoon of June 24th, a Wednesday, officers from the Richmond Police Department were called to the 1100 block of St. John Street in the Gilpin Court neighborhood. They arrived to find Suber suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was rushed to a local hospital, but his injuries proved to be fatal, and he succumbed to them later that same day.
The male victim was a husband and a stepfather.
The investigation into the shooting moved swiftly. Within two days, on June 26, 2015, authorities had a suspect in custody. Lamont A. Coleman, a 42-year-old man, was arrested and faced a series of serious charges related to the incident. These initial charges included robbery, the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Law enforcement officials indicated at the time that further charges were expected as they continued to delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding Suber's death.
