On the morning of December 4, 2017, 22-year-old Taibe Coleman was found in the 4900 block of Major Drive in New Orleans with a fatal gunshot wound to the back and was pronounced dead at the scene. He was described as wearing all black, with socks on his hands, and a malfunctioning handgun was located nearby. Coleman had been a high school wrestler.

Investigators say Coleman, along with 26-year-old Porsha Smith and 21-year-old Corneillius Boutte, allegedly conspired to rob a man whom Smith lured to the location using the alias Daysha. The man reported that two armed men ambushed him; he was shot in the leg, returned fire and struck Coleman. That victim drove himself to a hospital, and Boutte later showed up at another hospital with a shoulder gunshot wound accompanied by a woman matching Smith’s description. Smith was arrested on December 11, 2017, and charged with second-degree murder after the robbery victim identified her in a photo lineup.

Does anyone have information about Coleman, Smith, Boutte or that 2017 incident that could help clarify what happened?
