Gariyon Coleman was a 19-year-old from Beaumont, Texas who was killed in a drive-by shooting on July 19, 2018. Officers responded to reports of shots fired about 10:10 p.m. at Sunlight Manor Apartments in Beaumont’s South End and found Coleman with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene despite efforts by police and EMS.

Coleman, a 2017 graduate of Central High School, was remembered for his love of football and his siblings. No arrests were reported and detectives asked anyone who was in the area of the complex between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. that night to come forward. A year later his mother, Marietta Kidd, filed a wrongful death suit against Sunlight Manor and management company ITEX alleging inadequate security—missing fence, poor lighting and nonworking cameras—and seeking more than a million dollars in damages; the management company had not responded.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who were near Sunlight Manor that evening with information to help identify the shooters?
