Lexy Coleman, 21, was killed in a late-night shooting on Lilly Street in Bristol, Tennessee, on November 23, 2025. A lifelong Southwest Virginia resident from Cedar Bluff, she graduated Honaker High School in 2023 and attended King University on a full honors scholarship, where she participated in dance and competitive cheer. Family remembered her as hardworking and devoted to children, and her obituary said she felt destined to be a mom someday.

Police found three people shot inside the home. Lexy and 20-year-old Deonte Wright were pronounced dead at the scene; 22-year-old Kevin Collin survived and was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Authorities named 18-year-old Elijah Khalil Campbell as the suspected shooter; he was taken into custody after contacting police in neighboring Bristol, Virginia and faced charges including two counts of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and especially aggravated burglary. At a preliminary hearing a detective described surveillance video showing an argument and an officer said Campbell admitted to the shootings, while Campbell’s attorney argued self-defense as to the two men.

The violence devastated the neighborhood and Lexy’s family called her a ray of light. Does anyone have information about that night on Lilly Street or about Lexy’s time in the Bristol area?
