Lyfe Coleman was an 18-year-old from Tampa who was shot and killed in the front yard of his family’s home on Jefferson Street in the early morning of January 5, 2015. His aunt inside the house heard Lyfe yell and then two gunshots; she found him lying in a pool of blood. It was the first homicide recorded in Tampa that year.

Investigators found a visor at the scene that later tested positive for DNA tied to 21-year-old Reginald Bowman. Forensic examination of Lyfe’s cell phone showed recent communication about purchasing a firearm, and detectives say Bowman had been planning a robbery framed as a gun sale. After anonymous tips and additional witness statements, Bowman was arrested on December 1, 2016, and charged with second-degree murder.

Lyfe’s parents, Sonia Harmon Coleman and Life Malcolm, spoke publicly about their grief and the need to confront community violence. Does anyone have information about Lyfe, his movements that night, or the planning of that gun transaction?
