Donnell G. Coleman, 27, was shot dead during a home invasion at an apartment at 7711 North La Porte Avenue, just north of Columbia, Missouri. On the night of April 17, 2011, multiple armed intruders forced the front door between about 11:35 and 11:40 p.m. Witnesses said the suspects—described as black males—shot Coleman in the chest as he tried to stand from a couch. A woman, 25, and a roughly four-year-old child were in the unit but were not physically injured; they remained witnesses to the attack. Responders found Coleman critically injured and he was pronounced dead at the scene after attempts to render aid. The Mid-Missouri Major Case Squad assisted the Boone County Sheriff’s Department; detectives canvassed the area, interviewed associates, and explored motives such as robbery and possible drug involvement, but no definitive motive was confirmed. The case later went cold and no arrests have been announced.

Did anyone in the Columbia area see a dark-colored sedan leaving North La Porte Avenue that night or have information about those involved?
