Shawnta Lysheema Coleman, 33, was found shot to death on Thursday, April 7, 2011, in Bladensburg, Maryland. Her body was discovered behind an apartment complex in the 5600 block of Emerson Street. An infant was found unharmed in a car seat nearby and was placed in the care of social service workers.

The Prince George’s County Police handled the initial investigation, and at the time of discovery there was no information released about a suspect or a motive. The case remained unsolved, a fact noted again when Shawnta’s son Dante Coleman — then a teenager at the time of her death — was fatally shot in 2018.

Anyone with information about Shawnta Coleman’s killing or who may have been in the Emerson Street area on April 7, 2011, is asked to come forward.
