On August 16, 2014, seven-year-old Terrez Coleman was riding in a car with his parents and two sisters on Prescott Road in Baton Rouge when a single gunshot entered the vehicle. The bullet struck his 11-year-old sister in the stomach and then fatally struck Terrez in the heart, killing him instantly. Shell casings were recovered at the scene and investigators obtained a grainy surveillance photo of a white four-door sedan early in the inquiry.

For years the case remained unsolved, with detectives at the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office continuing to investigate and family members left without answers. The shooting left the Coleman family shattered and the community searching for information about who opened fire and why.

If anyone remembers seeing a white four-door sedan on Prescott Road on August 16, 2014, or has information about the shooting, please contact the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office.
