In the early morning hours of May 29, 2015, the life of 58-year-old Deaullandy G. Coleman, a Black male, was tragically cut short in a violent encounter at his home in Richmond, Virginia. Responding to a call at approximately 4:08 a.m., Richmond police discovered Coleman at his residence on the 400 block of Old Carnation Street, suffering from a gunshot wound.

Detective Michael Gouldman was named as the point of contact for any tips related to the case. The community and Coleman's family, including his mother, children, and siblings, were left to grapple with the sudden and violent loss.
