On the early morning of January 11, 2018, 24-year-old Kabreya Coleman was shot on the 200 block of North Hilton Street in Southwest Baltimore, the block where she lived. The shooting occurred at about 1 a.m.; Coleman was taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center and died of her injuries. She was the first woman killed in Baltimore in 2018.

Coleman, a Black woman and a mother, was described as hardworking and trying to balance youth with the responsibilities of raising a child. The neighborhood had seen a recent uptick in violence, with two other homicides within a few blocks in the weeks before her death; whether those incidents were connected was not clear.

Baltimore Police opened an investigation and appealed for witnesses, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. Anyone with information about what happened on North Hilton Street that night is urged to come forward.
