Clyde Coleman, 24, a Black man, was found dead from a gunshot wound on September 14, 2020, behind a property on the 3100 block of Highland Avenue in Niagara Falls, New York, a location locals and officials called the Red House. The body was discovered in the afternoon around 2:30 p.m., and police secured the backyard and opened a homicide investigation.

Neighbors and officials described the house as a recurring trouble spot, with reports of repeated violence and late-night gatherings there. One relative said Coleman may have been at the property for roughly a day before he was found. City inspectors condemned the home for serious safety hazards; property records identified the owner as James Mallory Jr. Authorities said no arrests had been made in Coleman’s killing at that time, and police noted the person responsible remained at large as the city dealt with a broader violence surge. Services were announced in Niagara Falls at Bethany Baptist Church, with arrangements through Williamson Funeral Home.

If anyone knew Clyde, his movements the days before September 14, 2020, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
